Quote of a quote from Victoria's blog: The court concluded BookSurge was
"an independent company that transforms PDF documents into books with no editorial control and no communal process with the author" (i.e., it doesn't edit, fact-check, or review the material it prints), and furthermore "had no duty to inspect the work that came before it for defamation,"
Oh, yes; I really, really want PA to admit in court they don't edit, review, inspect or communicate, just print. Then we can sit back and watch the suits pile up. Ten years of false advertising is only the start. Class action, anyone? I don't think this could be railroaded into arbitration; it would take just one judicial "this contract contains false information" for the floodgates to open, even if they change the wording on both contracts and ads.
As for the library assistant, is she truly complaining (I refuse to read or listen to her) that as an assistant she had to assist people? Gosh, life is so hard.
I blew out my knee a while back and had to walk with a cane.
Does being temporarily disabled make me a temporary pervert? I even -
*gasp*Horrors!* - used the library's computer. Who
knows what I was looking at, holding that cane?
My mother was just under 5 feet. I should never have been born. My parents, my grandparents... hold on...*
searches desperately through family tree*...there's gotta be someone who meets the assistant's criteria for perfection
...*rustle*rustle* Oh, I surrender. Shoot me.
Sorry. I can't even be annoyed; this is simply too absurd. But if it helps wake people up, including the PAvidians, it's all for the good.
