Now the site in question has replaced it with a link to a torrent site. Which – contrary to belief on the sites in question – is still illegal (Incitement).

No doubt the lawyers saw it, and took action, and may take action again.

As for Hannah, I’d be interested to see where she goes from here. She’s managed to get a genuine A-Lister to comment on her blog, something that most bloggers dream of (even us that are nice!), but what now for her?

The person offering the copyrighted 4HWW materials seems to be having problems gaining a foothold after all. After an initial blast onto the scene, he has managed to fall short of all of his promises thus far. He is either over his head, or just irresponsible.

As for Hannah, well only time will tell if she manages to stick around and make a place for herself in the blogosphere. She’s got one week of posts out there. Now let’s see where week two leads.
