Here There be Pirates

Yarr, Matey. So...I saw a post on Facebook about a site that is illegally offering books up for download when they have not received permission. I reported  them on Facebook and got a notice back that they found no evidence of theft (it was the best option I saw to report the page), and that they won't be removing the page. Boo, Facebook! You fail! Does that make them complicit in copyright infringement? If only.

This "business" has a website on a Blogger site. I figured I'd post it so people could make sure none of their works have been stolen. I'm not going to post the name of the site, because I don't feel like advertising for them. Use caution, as I accidentally clicked on something while shifting my laptop and got a virus notification. No idea what I clicked on. If you'd like to report them (or anyone in the future), a friend gave me this link for reporting copyright infringement to Google and this link to report abuse. And I guess if they get removed from Blogger, the Facebook page won't really matter, will it?

Moving on, I'm entering the third week of my CNA program. It's more intensive than I imagined, but hopefully I'm holding my own against the youngins' in the class. Can't wait to be done! So much reading, studying, testing, homework, and stress. OY!

I'd like to take a moment to alert you to a member of the blogging community that can use our support. If you follow or sometimes visit Jeff Hargett at Strands of Pattern, he lost his wife recently. If you haven't stopped by to give him your support, you can do so here. My heart is breaking for him and his family. Jeff is always so positive and supportive of others. The least we can do is give a little of that back.

Have you ever been pirated? What fun things have you done this summer? Getting any writing done, or do you let it rest during the summer?

May you find your Muse.
