    Having that $150k/violation could be useful when needing to attract a copyright attorney.

    I mentioned the copyright because even though you’re going to put it out there for free, that doesn’t mean that somebody more shady doesn’t take it and slap their name on it. Having it as a registered copyright seems to be a good thing.

    I’m only semi-familiar with the US law. In the US, you’ve automatically got copyright for original works, but it helps to register with the library of congress? Because, if you’re suing for infringement on a registered work, you have that statutory $150k the RIAA/MPAA likes to quote. For an unregistered copyright, you’d have to prove damages instead. Registration likely helps too in proving ownership, and I’m sure a good copyright attorney can tell you the other benefits for registering. As to the UK law, I’d be hitting google.

    Tamper-Resistant outlet: 0, Me: 1.   Victory!  (well, it helped to remove the stupid thing and put in a proper one.)

      This morning, I was almost done with replacing my kitchen microwave (over-the-range, so some minor work required), when the plug wouldn’t go into the outlet, despite having test fitted it earlier.  The “tamper-resistant” part is a “safety-feature” to keep kids from putting things into it, supposed to be spring loaded to let in a plug but not a butter knife.  Fortunately, I had a spare outlet laying around w/o this nuisance “feature” and replaced it.  Seems to me that “child-proof” features seem designed to let the kids in and keep the adults out.

    Don’t forget to register the copyright (I’m assuming US law here).

    You’ll probably write a hundred summaries until you get one that feels right…. only to write another hundred because you didn’t like the first one. Or, is it just me?

    The reactions in this case can be so different depending on the character, that’s what makes it tough to respond. For instance, are they the type that feel they can’t repay, and are so guilt ridden they jump off a bridge, figuring it to be justice? Or, will they guilt the victim because it happened (ie. if the victim wore less revealing clothing)?

    Those authors that wish to make their works available via PDF, ebook, etc, are already free do to so using a website designed for that (ie, yahoo groups, livejournal, etc).
