If you want to buy a kiddie book, why bother going to a bookstore? Or a library?
You can probably find the book on YOUTUBE.
Somebody (or several people) will gladly read the book for you and show you ALL THE PICTURES.
To paraphrase the cop in "They Shoot Horses Don't They," what can you say except:
"Obliging Bastards."
There were several people reading "STOP THAT PICKLE."
Admittedly, it's not much of a book. Most children's books are, after all, aimed at children, who have the mentality of idiots, imbeciles and morons.
Still, is this justification to a) prevent an author and publisher from making a sale, or b) lessening the number of people who visit the library, which could lead to shorter hours or branch closings?
Ah. But on YouTube there's MONETIZATION. The person reading and uploading the story can make the money. Yum! Yum!
Here's another uploader offering the story. THIS one has disabled comments. Perhaps she doesn't want to hear: "Have you ever heard of copyright?"
YouTube of course has the DMCA law on its side. The company has NO obligation to remove posts like these, or waste time and resources by asking the uploader for proof of a licensing agreement. It's up to the author to jump through the hoops, send in the papers and forms, and then wait for a ruling.
The title of the book here is 'STOP THAT PICKLE' not "STOP THAT COPYRIGHT ABUSE."
