My son is a huge Potter fan and he is the one that got me interested in the Rowling books.
I was especially impressed with the rags to riches story of ms. Rowling. I think it is
outrageous for ANYONE to pirate her books that she labored so hard to write.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has the potential to be one of the 10 biggest selling books of all time, which would need a 90 million copy sell. I am just a mere 14 year old boy and have been lucky enough to grow up with Harry Potter as he matures and the books get more exiting and adventurous, but I am disgusted at the pirates who sell these books for self-benefit when their profits could go to JKR herself who could put it to better use (charities), and it also puts at risk this book at coming into the top 10 selling books of all time.

I hope that was a typo…
be�siege (b-sj)
tr.v. be�sieged, be�sieg�ing, be�sieg�es
1. To surround with hostile forces.
2. To crowd around; hem in.
3. To harass or importune, as with requests: Reporters besieged the winner for interviews.
4. To cause to feel distressed or worried: She was besieged by problems.
[Middle English besegen, probably alteration of assegen, from Old French assegier, from Vulgar Latin *assedicre : Latin ad-, ad- + Vulgar Latin *sedicre, to sit; see siege.]
