That's an interesting question, is it slander or libel if you publish a video defaming someone.  Either way it would be hard to defend against as the evidence has been published... On 10/23/2017 12:15 PM, John wrote: On 10/23/2017 08:03, Eric Weir wrote: On Oct 23, 2017, at 7:45 AM, Sandy

After you shut this crook down, perhaps you should offer pdf versions of your out-of-print books on your own site! BTW, I noticed this on the bottom of the website to which you provided a link: "Copyright Disclaimer:This site does not store any files on its server. We only index and link to

That's exactly what I was going to write as well. I've seen this done with several different books/audio files, etc.: fake promises of a desired resource without one actually available. I've never figured out what was the ultimate purpose: malware or ad-click-views (or maybe a

Seconding what others have noted: there probably isn't an actually link to your book there. I saw the same thing with my snow flake book. I could click into the links all day long but aside from the occasional malware download or effort to get a credit card number, I never found a link to the

Re: Well this was annoying - re someone is offering for free PDF of my first book, Sign Language

as Mark said in one of his posts, there probably isn't a PDF to download of the book -- there certainly isn't a legitimate one anywhere.  The book was published in 1992 and never put into electronic form... If someone has a PDF they would have had to scan each page...  selections from the book

You could still send DMCA takedown notices to the "legitimate" web hosts Mark identified; fastly.com, hawk.host and reflected.net. I'd also consider reporting them the appropriate government agency. https://www.usa.gov/stop-scams-frauds On 10/22/2017 22:21, ann sanfedele wrote: I'm not going

The review by "ValDon" that this thing quotes -is-real  I googled the quote, it looked familiar  - it was an Amazon customer that bought the book in 2012.   So it looks like they are trolling Amazon for stuff to grab. I have to say that after reading the first article about take down notice
