A very old story-but with a moral we can use

You're welcome.

Yea been a long time since l read this article Cheryl makes great sense all over again thanks for the great reminder....

Yes and what amazes me is how otherwise intelligent adults will argue, justify and flat out attack anyone who dares to point out the fact that their scam is a scam. Like the adults in the kingdom in the story I guess they are too ashamed or bull headed to admit that they have been duped.

nice blog I really love this it makes so much sense beware scammers

nice idea.
i have also burnt my fingers

A very old story-but with a moral we can use

Good information regarding protection in restoration!

Yes they do. And the sad part is that they aren't new. The same ones pop up again and again with a differnt name and everyone falls over themselves to join. Never mind it is the exact same thing that got shut down las month, last year etc.

That is so true. People need to stop falling for these scams.

Wow I forgot this old one was here! And funny that the story applies to what is floating around today although we have progressed from selling the right to sell the right to sell the right to an e-book. These scams floating today still are nothing more than the Emperor's New Clothes.

hang on a minute Cheryl, It is not more legal to copy on the internet than it is on paper. It is just a question of not being caught.

There is a serious problems with people selling "resale rights" for things that they do not have the rights to themselves

Enforecement of copyright law on the internet is still in its infancy , but the laws exist even if people arent aware of them

I still don't know why someone hasn't spoken up. This whole e-book scam reminds me so much of the emperor's clothes it isn't funny. All these people who are buying "resale" rights to something that doesn't exist except on the internet. Anyone with a printer can download it and print it. But you can only "sell" it on the net. If you reproduce it in hardcopy for anything other than personal use, copyrighting laws kick in. They have no part in the intellectual rights which is where the royalti

I have a theory - which may or may not be popular - depending on who is reading it.

A large part of the so called internet busineses are like the emperors new clothes. So why do relatively intelligent adults continue to fall for them and still continue to find the "holy grail" when most non- internet junkies could tell them that they are wasting their time?

I suspect that a large number of people who set up these "emperor's clothes" programmes do it because they KNOW that it gives people an e
