Fake 2nd edition

[peacefulsongs]

Take down the book. Admit that you were wrong, first to take what wasn't yours, against the wishes of those it belonged to, second to break the law, and third to NOT IMMEDIATELY STOP DOING IT when it became clear that you were in the wrong.

All of this can be arranged. My contact information is readily available. I look forward to working with the Wise Council of the Olive Garden to resolve this manner in any way possible. Communication requires two parties.

[DaveL]

The Council of The Olive Garden has no intention working with you, particularly in light of what you have done. Time for a new hobby (or deity) perhaps?

Alright. I will assume everything is fine. I will take no action.

Communication requires two parties.

Which part of the communication

Do NOT Publish the Loose Canon 2nd Edition as you are not authorised to do so.

Do you not understand? This has been communicated to you repeatedly. It is a simple communication yet you are unable to grasp its meaning.

Alright. I will assume everything is fine.

Things will be fine when the work of others is no longer being published by a third party (Eric) without their consent.



The Loose Canon is the responsibility of venganza.org, where it originated, and The Council of The Olive Garden who collate and organise it.

It is for the Council to decide what form it should take, with input from the Pastafarian community.

From Eric's comments on facebook claiming to have signed consent from ALL the authors included, and that these consents would be available for inspection in the event of any legal action, it is clear that Eric's understanding of reality is not the same as that shared by the authors or by the rest of humanity.

Note: The profile used to promote the fake 2nd Edition has now been removed, either by Eric or by facebook.

[Rev. Rowan Redbeard]

Written a scathing 1-star review along the lines of 'The publisher is a thief!'

I would urge other writers to do likewise.

I've added my review.

Gotten the generic "Your permission was not granted, therefore your work was not included..." response.

Also, my review was helpful to 0 of 1 people. Given that someone with the last name of Whitfield responded to my review, I can't help but wonder if there's a particular bias there. Normally one doesn't expect the publisher to weigh in on whether or not a review is helpful.

[Cardinal Fang]

I will post this link for information for those who have had their work published without their consent, if they wish to contact Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201140760

It includes contact details for Amazon to make an official complaint about intellectual property theft.

Might be worth the Council contacting them officially.

by Tristan

If Eric continues to refuse to comply with the wishes of many of the included authors, and those of The Council of The Olive Garden, I suggest that one of the affected authors, preferably based in the US, acts as an agent for the rest and collates the relevant statements and submits the copyright infringement claim on behalf of the group.

Eric claims to have written statements from all of the above and says he will produce them in the event of a copyright infringement claim, as it is very clear from the comments of many of the included authors that no such genuine documents exist, Eric will also open himself up to a prosecution for perjury should he chose to defend the claim on that basis.

As I am not in the US I am happy for one of the other authors to act as an agent on my behalf and I will provide the relevant sworn documentation to support the claim and authorise the agent.


Eric do you really want to go down this path or will you cease publication of your unauthorised (In)complete Loose Canon?

[Rev. Rowan Redbeard]

Any authors whose works were included in the Loose Canon print edition on Amazon, please PM me. Thank you.

Looked at it and ERIC is at it AGAIN or never took it down.

[Roy Hunter]

It looks like Eric is indeed selling the Loose Canon again.
