Finding "The Plot to Seize the White House"

You really love your Guardian don't you?

Eh? What on earth has this got to do with anything?

Find a dusty copy stashed in the bowels of the British library does not prove that 'somebody' is not buying up these books.

As I've said before, it's you that has to prove that 'somebody' *is* buying up the books, and the fact that you can't buy one online is not - in my book and I suspect in other people's too - sufficient evidence.

borrow said book from library, scan it, pdf it then bang it on the net, piece of piss really if you're that bothered, or will the feds start burning peoples computers

Indeed. Take some responsibility for its dissemination yourself

Afraid the copyright laws will stop you quicker than you can say "Mulder and Scully".

copyright shouldn't matter to a "truth seeker" , what you say is true but if the now non exisiting publishers hold the copyright ( as previously mentioned) who is going to instigate for copyright violation?

The librarians, since our responsibilities involve making sure that the copyright laws are not abused in relation to library items.

Sufficient evidence?

All I'm saying is that this is highly suspicious that the book is not availible when every other book the author has written is.

And there are absolutely *no* copyrighted books illegally available online now are there? Thing is, once people start hosting it themselves all over the world, you can never put it back in the box. The copyright laws won't mean much even if a few people get prosecuted.

Not stopped me doing it before.

The case is cracked and an international librarian conspiracy uncovered!

But that's not all you said. You also hypothesised that someone had been buying them up. That's more than saying something is 'suspicous'.

But you haven't shown that every other book he wrote is available, you just assumed that it is because there are a lot available.

 

[editor]

Not really is it?

You really love your Guardian don't you?

One more smartarse mention of his real name and you're banned.

I'm FUCKING FED UP having to ask people to stop doing this.

If you wanna have a dig then prove me wrong.

 

[Brainaddict]

Guardian readers are *wrong*, and that's why they don't believe his theory. This is a proven fact.

 

[Brainaddict]

If you wanna have a dig then prove me wrong.

And there you go doing it again. *You* prove that you're right.

Maybe you should ask <ed: removed> to stop being so fucking soft.

 

[DrRingDing]

I have stated nowhere that I am right just that this is suspicious.

 

[Brainaddict]

I have stated nowhere that I am right just that this is suspicious.

But no-one's going to care if there's no evidence - however many threads with 'guardian' in the title you stick up pointing here.

48 hr ban coming up. You were warned fair and square and you know that its against the rules.

Why you chose to force my hand and keep on repeating his name is anyone's guess, but it sure pisses me off and you've only yourself to blame for this.

 

[snadge]

you're the one that has to do the digging, your fucking loonspud conspiricy, ain't it?

well quite, but now we can't even argue any more cos he's banned for a while.

well you're full of shite as well

on this thread or just generally?

 

[fractionMan]

I've got nothing to do today, so I'll take up his mantle.

Bloody CIA, stealing everyones books and stuff. Makes me livid, it really does. It's just like those sweets you can't get anymore. Same thing, see? Name me one other book you can't buy online eh? EH?

On second thoughts, I really can't be bothered.

 

[snadge]

on this thread or just generally?

look at the smiley ffs, I'm joking

smileys are very ambiguous - particularly the sticking-out-tongue one.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Another thread showing just how fucking stupid conspiracy loonspuds are

 

[lang rabbie]

Is it not marginally more likely that the few remaining copies on the market might have been purchased by conspiracy theorists rather than the CIA. Lots of left-leaning anti-capitalist people will have seen mentions of Smedley Butler in The Corporation (both film and book). The more literary ones, will already have heightened paranoia since the publication of Philip Roth's brilliant piece of counter-factual fiction "The Plot Against America".

We could each ask for a different 10% to be copied under the "fair dealing" for research/review provisions of copyright law. Although I think that the British Library's Document Supply Centre might smell a rat
