That's lame... If he bought the book, he should be allowed to post a translation if no French-language version is available yet for sale.

How many times has the publisher made it clear that they want no unofficial translations? His fault for stupidity...if he did it.

If he didn't make any money from it, I don't see what the big deal is...

Hell, "Deathly Hallows" is currently the fastest selling book of all time... it's not like the publisher needs the money....
