Are you kidding me? The first Harry Potter book came out in 1997. A 10 year copyright means that 5 years ago someone could have taken the book, mass produced their own copy, and sold it at Barnes and Noble. That would be the same time the 7th and final book came out and well before the movies were complete. That is a simply absurd idea. Edit: Downvotes aren't surprising but I'd love to hear the argument why rights to a creative work should be lost when it's still in development and rapidly growing with each day.
