I understand that part, however, in such a case the person wouln't be asking for help in stopping the distribution of said material.

Again, understood.
I guess I sould have been more clear.
I tried to point out in my post that it was Steves info and know how that contained the value in this work and that it was not a viral marketing technique to sell other products.

So I guess for $97 it would be safe to assume that Steves values the content vs. the appeal of a viral marketing technique to get the report seen by as many eye balls as possible.
The next logical question for Steve is , assuming that he sold her the report with resale rights...... (possibly not a fair to assume this)
Does it state anywhere in the agreement that they, the purchaser of resale rights, cannot change the info in in way, including format and price?
If so, I am no expert in the exchange of written works, but I would assume that you couldn't, insert a fixed price as that would be open to more litigation.
Bringing me back to my main question....
which is simply,
Why offer re-sale rights?
In this case, it seems the value is within the contents of the work for reasons pointed out above. I do not see why a person would call a foul for such a distribution if the works intent was to simply be seen by as many people as possible.
Thanks,
Jason

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!"

And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid...
