Harry Potter appears leaked at Bittorrent

Pictures of every single page of JK Rowling's latest book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," appear to be available on BitTorrent days before the book goes on sale. According to the Web site TorrentFreak.com (which is down right now) the book is available as two files from BitTorrent.

PC World confirmed a book that appears to be "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" is available. I looked at the first ten pages of the apparent book and if it is a fraud it's a very convincing one.
The posting comes days before the book goes on sale 12:01 A.M. July 21.

The download of the apparent pirated version of the book is made up of 759 poor-quality JPEG images. The pages are pictures (not pages scanned with a flatbed scanner) of the book lying open on rug with a hand holding the spine of the book open.
