All,
Many years ago, I joined the (then) open forum that was
http://www.ScribD.com. At that time, it was a great forum for distributing self-published information. A couple of years ago it was bought out by the Facebook corporate structure and the "terms" where changed such that THEY could charge for access and THEY claimed primary copyright on material posted there.
I immediately discontinued my account there and (supposedly) deleted the "content" (owned & copyrighted by me) from their website. The "new" ScribD has resurrected
my properties and is
charging for their download! (Please note that
I have never
charged for access to that type of work. I
do include a
begware statement to the effect that, if you find this information useful & helpful,
buy me a beer (or social equivalent) through PayPal. I do not think this is out of line for the types of things I create and publish.)
Please, if you see any documents on the ScribD website of my publication, go to customer support and let them know that they are in violation of
my copyright. If you want a copy of any of those documents, e-mail me at tangent@olympus.net and I will be happy to send them at no charge!
