The price of popularity

You can buy 18 wildly popular essays by Peter Sieling on Amazon for $10 each. They are offered by Proquest Information and Learning. Proquest just lost a class action lawsuit because they are selling articles they don’t own(the Thompson group was also among the defendants). I could have been part of the settlement except that the deadline for filing was three weeks ago and I found this out last week.

It might be a compliment that someone thought my stuff was good enough to steal. Here’s some other articles you can buy from Proquest on Amazon, just to give you an idea of the caliber of my writing:

Manitoba Tire Stewardship Board celebrates 5th anniversary

Award recipients: Burnaby Business Excellence Awards 2000

WEspeak; Together We Stand: Resisting and Rebuilding for Peace : An article from: Women & Environments International Magazine

Industry poised to capitalize on upturn : An article from: Saskatchewan Business from 2000

Swine industry asserting research priority: An article from: Saskatchewan Business <>
So like other great writers of great literature, my works have been stolen by unscrupulous pirates.

Pete,
So sorry, I just this minute placed an order with Amazon for Madelein Peyroux's latest album "Careless Love" (which if your number 3 has any interest in contempory jazz, would really enjoy and learn from) however, I will in the future order from Media Play unless they become unscrupelous pirates also,
T.
