Because YOU say so!
What's THIS fucking shit?
Does this look like something you could buy on AMAZON?
Isn't it some fuckwad's self-made bootleg disc?
DAMN right it is.
So what irresponsible toilet-wipe site would stoop so low as to not flag it and shut it down INSTANTLY? Oh. Sure. EBAY.
Hmmmm, let's read along. Hmmm, yummy yummy, FIVE HUNDRED thrillers for chump change. Gosh, don't you have to pay a ROYALTY to anyone, Mr. Brit Shit Twit? Not a bit?
He gives us a long, long list of authors. Say, this will keep us busy for MONTHS if not YEARS. We won't have to go to a bookstore.
We won't have to go to a BOOT SALE even, or a charity shop!
We won't have to even go hunt up a forum where acknowledged PIRATES steal books because they can, har har.
We won't have to bother with AMAZON and their KINDLE. Funny how AMAZON wants $5 or $10 EACH for a download book and THIS guy is giving us FIVE HUNDRED for the price of ONE. HOW does he do it?
Let's read that BIG BOLD RED PRINT AT THE BOTTOM.
Hilarious, isn't it?
This self-entitled snot is just like the LORD of the BOOT SALE, like SENIOR MOLE, like any number of fussy British hemorrhoids who invent fancy reasons for SELFISHNESS and GREED.
This guy tells us that EVERY book on his disc was copyrighted BEFORE 1923.
Let's see. Harlan Coben. Not even born in 1923. Ken Follett. Not even born in 1923. Mary Higgins Clark. Not even born in 1923.
How the FUCK did they write and coypright novels BEFORE THEY WERE BORN?
Never mind. A Brit Twit wants to sell discs and make money so he can have chips with his tea. He steals from authors, and he's entitled to take that money, go to the shop, and get his chips. Munch munch munch.
He'd be the first to shrug, "What is the kerfuffle? I'm British. I'm entitled. Don't hurl your poo. Copyright? Don't be SILLY. I'm well within ALL the rules! I said so!"
And the last line?
"I HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE OWNERS TO RESELL THESE ITEMS."
We'll take your word, Mr. Great Britain.
Instead of that shitty photo of your self-made disc, why doesn't your ad include just ONE copy of ONE signed agreement with ONE famous author?
Show us the contract you have with Lawrence Block. Or John Grisham. Or over a hundred American authors you've NEVER MET IN YOUR LIFE.
Oh, we're all supposed to let you take your dog for walkies, accept anything you say, let you make money you don't deserve, and not create a KERFUFFLE.
EBAY, the biggest fence for stolen property in the world.
