Potterdammerung again: Public Service Announcement

A very irate [livejournal.com profile] ali_wildgoose reports:
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

IF "HARRYPOOTER" FRIENDS YOU, DO NOT GO AND LOOK AT THEIR JOURNAL. IT IS A ^*&^*%@ GIANT SPOILER FOR HARRY POTTER.
Like me, she also recommends setting your comments as "friends-only" That troll also commented with spoilers to Ali's journal.

Sorry to hear it, Peg. I replied to her reply to you, though you can't see it. Here's what I said:
"You say in your post that "This is the real thing" and then you tell Peg that you have "no way to verify that the book is in fact the real one". Which is it? I agree with Peg--I think you're setting yourself up for legal liability. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, and, in a case like this, your intent doesn't matter. Putting something up that you yourself believe to be the actual book is the smoking gun."

The reporter in me coming out. I've learned to let people talk. Give a man enough rope and they'll hang themselves with their own words.
