Great, he got more people to go download it FOR FREE.
Remind me how that's paying me?
Besides, I thought that I was supposed to be paying HIM for promotion.
As part of the "Techdirt Book Club", a discussion group based around a single book every month and which anyone with half a brain cell understands may well have sponsorship deals behind it.
I spoke with Mike after his May book club chat with Rick+Christian, and I mentioned No Safe Harbor. I then continued chatting as we were both coveritlive users, affected by the change in plans, and I've certainly been looking for a replacement ever since (for my pirate election coverage), while he's gone to google hangouts.
Late July, he dropped me an email saying 'Any interest in having NSH be the book of the month for August?' To which I said 'sure, but I'll be away at an event the end of the month, so we'd have to be flexible about the chat. "No problem" was the response.
No talk of money, adverts, costs, buying, or anything else nefarious. I suggested my book to him as a candidate. Few months later he comes back, offers, I accept. I think the total discussion between us EVER prior to the video starting has been a smaller wordcount than this comment (including sigs)
Just thought you'd like to know, as someone who's been through it.
I remember the incident well. I knew some of the people there. Had a maths teacher who was injured at it, and had a stutter/tick because of it.
Everyone in Liverpool knew about the actions of the police. The hard part has always been getting something DONE about it.
It's actually an area that has united Everton and Liverpool fans, who had been bitter rivals for over a century (Liverpol FC was founded in 1892 when the stadium owner and Everton fell out. Everton moved across the park to Goodison, and the stadium owner started Liverpool FC)
News International's newspapers have sold really badly there since they sided with the cops in 89. Even now it's not THAT unusual to see someone spit on a copy of The Sun if they see it.
Also, as side-note, my step-mother is a 'capacity compliance officer' at Goodison. A position created to prevent this happening again. To do that job, the entire stadium is crawling in CCTV cameras. You ARE being watched at a premiership game.
They also release the contents of those CD's under what is effectively a CC-BY-NC-ND license.
There's even an online archive of them with Baen's blessing. http://baencd.thefifthimperium.com/
I always make it a point to escape from the bedlam of the EFForums track (http://eff.dragoncon.org) at dragoncon to go to the Baen travelling roadshow, and tell the publisher, and the writers, how much I appreciate their eBook policy. And I usually take some books I've bought in the past year to get signed too.
The NC license is there because that's how some of the works had to be licensed. Sure we could have been CC-BY-SA, but it would also have been 40 pages long.
And last time I checked, the last international evaluation of Pirate Party positions on copyright (which was during my tenure as PPI head), had NO-ONE wanting abolition of copyright; not a single party.
"Is it funny that pirates are copyrighting their works? Yes. Absolutely."
Only if you don't understand reality. That is that ALL WORKS ARE COPYRIGHT BY DEFAULT.
That's the law.
You'll also notice it's under a Creative Commons license.
And the Pirate Parties don't have a problem with copyright, and don't want it abolished. They just want the excesses rolled back.
Sorry if the facts of reality intrude on your nice little 'theory'. Perhaps you can scrub it out, and try again, I'm sure no-one else will hold your ignorance against you.
Enjoy your traveling now Mike. Get used to seeing the letters SSSS - you publicly pointed out they were liars. We already know they are domestic terrorists (following the DOD definition which says "“The unlawful use of violence or threat of violence to instill fear and coerce governments or societies. Terrorism is often motivated by religious, political, or other ideological beliefs and committed in the pursuit of goals that are usually political.
(Source: Joint Pub 3-07.2, Antiterrorism, (24 November 2010))"
They've used 'threat of violence' (do this or you'll get blown up) to cooerce societies (ie the traveling public into nudie scanners) for ideological (that they're supposed to be in control) and political (ditto) beliefs, for a goal that's political 'anti terror legislation passage, and government control'
Sorry, perhaps you'd like my book (www.nosafeharbor.com book 2 will be out by years end, and 3 more books working on) or perhaps you'd like to see the TV shows I worked on (you can see me in an episode of Spaced, a few seasons of BBC's Robot Wars, and 3 seasons of Comedy Central's BattleBots (oh, and the 'thing' that kinda started Mythbusters). I've got a patent somewhere too, and what got me started in *this* field was working as a copyright enforcer for a UK record company.

They are, by definition, terrorists.
