>On 28 November 2013 a user of What.CD uploaded scans of three unpublished stories by American author J. D. Salinger. Similar to the response to the COFEE upload, an administrator removed the torrent. It is not clear how the unpublished material was obtained, as the original sources came from two different locations (the University of Texas and Princeton), suggesting that the works were obtained on separate occasions and then combined. These stories quickly spread over to open BitTorrent sites like The Pirate Bay and image sharing sites such as Imgur. What.CD Staff said of the removal: "Due to this case’s rare and unlikely circumstances, due to the unnecessary and unwanted attention the Salinger leak has brought, and due to our desire to comply with the desires of the Salinger estate or other involved parties in this matter, the content has been removed from What.CD. It is not to be re-uploaded under any circumstances, and anyone found doing so will have their account disabled."

Have you read these RARE stories?
