End Google's Partnership Program with Publisher

The recent Authors Guild settlement of $250 million against Google for copyrighted materials scanned off out of print library books is just the start of Google's encroachment on author's legal rights. Under their Partnership Programs with a good number of presses they are entitled to print 20% of an author's book, ostensibly for promotional reasons.

Yes he was...People really look up to him...he was a great runner from what I understand..We have these Blackberry Festivals and Fun Festivals in Coos Bay every year...They always have a Prefontaine run in honor of Steve...its pretty cool....

We still have two scripts we're running with, and Yossi and I are both open to co-producing. You can email me at ghoulishguy@aol.com and I will be happy to forward it. Break a leg!

At 4:24pm on June 8, 2009, Josie Aquila said…: Hi David!!!! Yes Steve PreFontaine is from Coos Bay, Oregon. Unfortunately I never got to meet him. We actually live in North Bend which is 2 minutes from Coos Bay. We moved in 1988 and I believe he died in 1968. We have Prefontaine runs for the kids all over Coos County. He was a famous man in this area. When I go to the High School that he attended, they have his pictures everywhere. His parents are still alive and live close to the High School. Thanks for asking.

We have a new script we're in talks about, but nothing firm yet. He is a terrific guy, contact him. Happy New Year!

I just checked "Blind Jagt" via google - so your Danish ´pen name´ must be David Lorne?
Nice to be in touch with a crime fiction writer (my great dream, as you may have seen on my page).
New Year´s greetings from Denmark.
