Randy I wouldn't wait 10 more seconds. Unleash the hounds!! Post the address for reporting theft/fraud to ebay and we will all deluge them. There are some desperate ways to sabotage any auction............heh heh Try to find out where the thief lives, and broadcast the street address!! Or second best, find out what internet provider they use and go after their basic web service. Nobody loves a thief. Intellectual property theft is serious business. Especially cherished material. I have been extremely proud of you posting this all these years. I will not lay down and let someone steal it from all of us. yours Scott -- ******************************* Scott Grandstaff Box 409 Happy Camp, Ca 96039 scottg@s... http://www.snowcrest.net/kitty/sgrandstaff/ http://www.snowcrest.net/kitty/hpages/index.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Galoots, The future of the Millers Falls website is in question. An individual whom I do not know has appropriated the hand and breasts drills part of the site and is ma rketing it in book format on ebay. Until he desists, I will be pulling the site until the legal issues are cleared up. I'm sorry that I feel compelled to do thi s, but this sort of activity is detrimental to the book that I am planning. Here's a copy of the email I sent to the individual. Ok we have a problem. You are marketing content stolen verbatim from my website -- A Millers Falls Home Page. If your ads are not removed from ebay by tomorrow evening (Thursday night) I will make a formal complaint to ebay. If you persist in trying to market this material via any venue (ebay, a website, a self-publish ing firm, etc.) you should be aware that I have the financial resources to bring a lawsuit against you and that I fully intend to do so. At a minimum, you will be responsible for my legal fees, court costs and actual damages. The extent of actual damages will begin at approximately $15,000 the amount that I have tied u p in the purchase of original research material. Since 14 years of research have gone into compiling the Millers Falls site, I will be seeking additional damage s as well. These will include reimbursement for trips to research the book, web hosting expenses, and lost income from the sale of my forthcoming book. I am ent irely serious about this. I'm distressed to say the least, am extremely bitter and won't be answering any e-mail on this topic, Randy Randy Roeder Web site: oldtoolheaven.com Repaint houses, not old tools. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Will the "Listmoms" permit you to post the name of the individual and the name of the book so that those of us on this list, stay away from purchasing said tome? Many of us cannot resist buying every new tool book we see at Borders or Barnes & Noble? If this post is inappropriate, I apologize for its content. Tony Z. On 7/14/10 10:08 PM, "r.roeder@m..." |

Hopefully Randy issued eBay (or his webhost, wherever it was being sold) a Takedown Notice http://www.thelaw.com/guide/how-to-write-send-a-dmca-takedown-notice/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Copyright_Infringement_Liability_Limitation_ Act#Takedown_example as that is Step 1 and shows the thief that you mean business. Frankly, I think that taking down the Millers Falls web site weakens Randy's case (like he has done something wrong). I'm assuming he did so because the other guy is asserting that his work was prior and Randy stole from him. Again, I would think that Randy's taking down the site gives the impression that the other guy is right (or at least emboldens him to continue asserting such nonsence). IANAL, but if Randy is in the right I don't understand what is gained by letting the turkey make you change your game.

I'm not a lawyer and I don't play one on TV, but I've enjoyed the great web site that Randy created. I'd like to find the $%^& who stole his property and put him in the path of the armed drug dealers who march across Arizona's southern counties with a taped loudspeaker saying nasty things in Spanish.

Well, I'm going out on a small limb and speaking for Randy, who is frustrated an d angry and rightly so. The Ebay seller has removed the CD and, luckily, says he had not sold any. Ebay is aware of the problem through their customer support l ine. Every now and then I have a problem with Ebay sellers grabbing images, even pdf files and trying to sell them or use them without permission. It happens in the digital world but it's still aggravating. The first time I discovered someone se lling a pdf from my site, I hit the roof and tore a few extra elimination orific es in the offending seller. That seller tried to fight back, but Ebay said to ta ke the item off or be banned. Unfortunately, digital security is still lousy whether it's a pdf, an image or a n entire website. Give things time to simmer down. Gary ...............................

Gary, What an I say but thank you. I was absolutely unprepared for this and didn't hav e a clue about how to go about taking care of it. I pretty much figured that the whole thing was hopeless. I'm going to wait a day or two, and if it looks like he's inactive, I'll re-moun t the site. I've been ever so slowly going through some of the text-heavy parts of the site, proofreading. I hope to be done with this process by the end of Aug ust and then move on to creating some new content for the would-be book. Proofin g is slow going, it's hard to maintain that sort of concentration for very long.

There really is another way to look at this. You have written valuable enough that somebody thinks they can sell it on eBay. I know it's frustrating, but that's a Good Thing and bodes well for your upcoming book. There are a whole lot of websites in the world that nobody has turned into PDF and tried to sell.

Randy, this might be overkill, but consider identifying key phrases or words in the structure of your site and set up Google Alerts to notify you if they're found elsewhere on the web. Its like having a whole bunch of eyes on the web working for you. Cheers, Wes On Jul 16, 2010, at 9:53 AM, r.roeder@m... wrote: > Gary, >> What an I say but thank you.

Yes folks, there is a Santa Claus. The MF Home Page will return in due time. The bad guy has removed the listing and understands that he made a very bad mistake for which he has apologized. And, come *ell or high water, there will be a book. Easy for me to say as Randy is doing the greater bulk of the work! Gary ...............................
