Some Fuckwit is Selling Your Discordian Texts

[Cain]

He must have tossed this together fairly recently, since Nigel is referred to as "Nigel's Red Velveteen Skinmeat Snacks".  Which I believe she only adopted a couple weeks ago.

He did.  This stuff has been on sale only since towards the end of December

Whoever they are, Cram has found them on Reddit.  Maybe we can shame them into taking the books down.

He started this Ask Me Anything about seven hours ago and hasn't been back since.

Thanks.  Should this thread be moved to OM?  I suspect the author in question will be monitoring for reactions to use in upcoming books.

I think it's better he knows.  Secrecy is of no benefit here...EVERYONE should be able to know, from simply Googling his name, that he's a thief and something of a sicko as well.

And with PD's pagerank, that process is well underway.

Here's the page for claiming copyright infringement on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201140760

Well shit. Dirty cabbage.

I just flipped through the Wise Book of Baloney; turns out there is no kopyleft notice on it anywhere...

Yeah, but fun fact; you don't HAVE to declare copyright. It exists by virtue of your work existing. It is not that it is uncopyrighted unless declared copyrighted; it is copyrighted unless declared otherwise, from the moment it came into being. The legally tricky part is (or at least, can be) proving that it came into being at your hand, or the hand of whoever authored each piece of content.

[Cain]

Yeah, that's why it's best everyone whose work this is put in their claims.  A combined number of complaints should make something stick.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I complained.

Amazon must have this guy's real name and contact info. Hopefully they will respond to the claims of copyright infringement with it, but if not I'm sure my lawyer knows how to get it.

ah well if there was any doubt ... http://discordianomnibus.wordpress.com/23volumes/

Books that will NOT be included in this Omnibus Collection are those created under a Copyright (SHAME ON YOU), those that aren't available free online (Double Shame), and those that are called Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia. (For obvious reasons).

"For obvious reasons".

That's pretty funny - Uncle BadTouch does not give his PDF away for free, but is happy to sell other people's PDFs.  Right now his book is listed on amazon for $200. I wonder if that "shame on you!" applies to himself.

Looks like that wordpress has been deleted, as of right now.

[Cramulus]
