Fake Harry Potter in China!
I read this in the newspaper this morning (translated from Dutch):
Even for the Chinese copying industry, this is a new thing: The 5th part of the Harry Potter series is out in China! It is a fake Harry Potter, because the real 5th part doesn't exist outside the author's (J.K. Rowling) head. The author is still working on the book. The fake book is called "Harry Potter and the leopard who walks towards the dragon". Everything in the book makes it seem like it's just a regular Chinese translation of a original book. The publisher of the real books is quite angry. The police warns booksellers that they risk a high fine.  Cool. Sorry that I don't have a link to CNN or something, but... I'm sure someone will find one.
