Yeah I'm certain that his message about RAF changing just meant that the entire e-book child board would be removed, and that all e-book references would be removed.
I highly doubt he's going to do a huge overhaul on the site.
Yes, this new development sucks, and there's no surprise at all that a lawyer was acting like a douche-nozzle. However luckily this development came near the rerelease.
Luckily for me, I downloaded all the e-books the very moment I saw them. Even though I own all but 4-5 physical books.
And yes, there are sites that host all of the Harry Potter books. I also have HPs 1-7 in e-book form.
But as many of us can attest, we've had many conversations about whether this moment would come; so it shouldn't be that big of a surprise. I definitely support the underground railroad idea, and would be happy to help in any way.
