  Re: Re: List of authors?

  I think this calls for a good ole book burning...
  
  Though we have a few problems trying to burn cyber books. Somehow loading a bunch of files onto a hard drive and formatting them doesn't seem as fun. Also, you can't roast marshmallows over it.

  This reminded me of that joke about an Australian Kiss, it's like a French Kiss, but down under. =P

  Well that's what I thought she was claiming too. But like you, I was unable to find anything that was similar that could be confused with it.

  Re: Re: Re:

  Also, just double checked. There isn't a LENDLNK .NET, .ORG, .INFO, .BIZ, .US, or .CA. LENDINK only has a .COM and .CO registered.
  
  LENDINK.COM is the site we are all discussing.
  LENDINK.CO is a basic domain parking page. Registered to a person in China.
  
  So unless the LENDINK.CO was a pirate site that then changed back to a domain parking page, which I think is unlikely, then I have no clue what she is claiming about a copycat domain.

  Re: Re:

  But as far as I can tell, there was never a LENDLNK.COM. It's currently available to be registered. Also, if it had just expired, most hosting companies will still reserve the domain name for a year or so before releasing it back to the wild. So if it did exist, it hasn't been around for a long time.
  
  So again this raises the issue of "What the hell is she talking about" or the more likely idea that she's trying to make shit up to try to get out of the hole she dug.

  Re: Re: Re:

  Also, pointing out that domain name portions of a url are case-insensitive. I think this was pointed out in the article, but clarifying just in case. =P

  Re: What a bunch of tools

  After the last few books I attempted to read, I would think it's safe to say that "No, they are not capable of reading, or writing for that matter." =P

  The "BEST" result would be for the judge to rule against them both and serve them with an injunction against participating in the gaming industry. =P

  Haha, I am actually secretly hoping that the judge rules against both of them... That would be a GOOD result. =P

  I was thinking of actually writing a letter and sending it to many of the authors and publishers that participated in this. I would point out some of their flawed logic. I'd also point out how they have turned me against them and their brand and that I'd no longer consider purchasing any of their books/products. Also, I'd encourage my friends and family to do the same.
  
  Unfortunately, they'd likely just toss the letter out and think to themselves, "He was a pirate, so he doesn't matter anyways."

  the public (who we thought the patent system was supposed to benefit).
  
  What strange world have you been living on? I don't think anyone ever expected a patent system to benefit the public. Similar to how the public would never think that a politician was above corruption, a CEO was looking out for the little guy, or the RIAA to ever get a clue. =P

  I wonder if they raise the concession fees to cover that... That bag of popcorn will be $1,000 or one signature on this bill to protect our business model. =P

  Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that a government agency, like the NSA or FBI, will get a hold of that information and use it to build a list of people they need to keep an eye on.
  
  Or maybe it's time for me to take my tinfoil hat in for a tune up... =P
