Posted By: Steve In Response To: Re: eBook help (Mr Bluto ^_^)

That's great information that I didn't know, Mr. Bluto! Thanks.
So, it seems that if I want the largest audience possible, I need to use a PDF format. It's also much more simple to create a PDF...I already have software (WordShare) that will do it for me.
The only question I have left with regard to this aspect is: Do I need to worry about security using a simple PDF? WorkShare will provide some security (it will prohibit cutting and pasting, printing, et.), but how would I ensure that the PDF wasn't simply mailed around or the file simply copied? I will be using ClickBank for order fulfillment, if it makes any difference.
I'm just worried that an unscrupulous person could copy my info if I don't have some way to beter secure it. Am I worrying too much abot this? I'd hate to have a very popular book, but have me lose lots of money because it was ripped off.
Thx,
S

| 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!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. 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... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
