This folder was especially created so everyone can write their views on ebooks and copyrights. Yet, people are going and writing on my profile page. These are the type of comments I have to put up with on my profile page after I deleted my folder 2 days ago (on the very first day the copyright issue was raised) ...

You're the one who's doing illegal activities.

I DARE you to write a book and find out for yourself how much HARD WORK, RESEARCH and TIME it takes to complete a 400 page manuscript. I DARE you to spend years submitting your manuscript to agents and publishers before you can get published.
Then, after you're published, send me your royalty checks because you don't need to get paid for your work.
My reply to constant spamming of my profile
I suggest that, when you are fighting for authors across the globe, please be careful of throwing accusations at people. Everyone can threaten us about taking legal action against us for sharing ebooks. But, we can also take action against people like you for defamation.
1. Your accusation was that I had ebooks on esnips. After the issues you raised, most of us have respectfully deleted our folders. 2. Instead of writing accusations and counter remarks in people's profile pages, I decided to open a folder where everyone could write their comments and share ideas on copyrights. You are free to write your comments in this folder, however, you have again shown absolute disrespect by going back to my profile page and filling it with comments. 3. You made a statement : "As long as you continue to illegally distribute copyrighted materials here, at Romance Pro Forum and at your Yahoo RomanceEbooks group, I can post the copyright laws." Anymore of such comments and you will be the one looking at legal action for defamation. I am not a member of these forums. 4. Another statement by you: "Goodness is NOT part of your personality. You're stealing and illegally distributing copyrighted materials here and at other online locations." Not only are you defaming, you are beginning to get pathetically personal. 5. Another one of your famous comments: "I DARE you to write a book and find out for yourself how much HARD WORK, RESEARCH and TIME it takes to complete a 400 page manuscript." I am a writer and artist. I do understand how difficult life can be but I also know how much money is made in profits by publishing companies. So I know both sides of the story.
Out of respect for all, I removed my folder 2 days ago when you first raised the issue. I suggest that you begin the process of respect at your end as well ...
