Jim Homme, what instrument or instruments do you play? I play trumpet and sing tenor and play piano. I hate piracy as well.

I received this message from Katharine Webber, the author ofTriangle, which I recently submitted to the collection. She is apparentlydispleased that her book is in the collection. I tried to explain thatbookshare is not illegal. Here is what she says: Scanning pages of a bookthat is copyright and therefore protected intellectual property, and then ndistributing those pages to other people through a website, is a violation of the copyright law. Very specifically, you are stealing income from me, the author of TRIANGLE and other novels. What you are doing is theft. Do you mind that? Would you steal a meal in a restaurant, would you steal services fromyour plumber? If you had no idea it was illegal, now you know. Surely youdo know this? BOOKSHARE IS ILLEGAL THEFT OF PROPERTY. Do you want to keep doing it and to wait to be prosecuted? Who can heal, but one who has healed herself? Who can know, but one who has asked and sought? Who can lead, but one who has traveled the way? --ancient French proverb-- Chela E-Mail: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxx WindowsLiveMessenger Only (PLEASE E-Mail ME BEFORE ADDING ME TO YOUR CONTACTS!): cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxxxx Blog: http://www.1jtcdr.wordpress.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=690550695 (PLEASE E-MAIL ME BEFORE I EITHER ADD OR REJECT YOUR FACEBOOK REQUESTS!)
