jbltk: I'm sorry to bother you so randomly, but I'd like to know when you found out that someone else owned Katie.com, and why you didn't insist the title of your book be changed at that time and wait to say it was a good thing until the publisher finally ceded?
ktarbox261: As I said before this issue was between Katie Jones and Penguin, I could do nothing to change it. They bought the right to publish it and I sold it under a different name.
jbltk: Than why did the press release state that the publisher as well as the author made the decision to change the name, seeing as you have no input?
ktarbox261: This time was a very unique situation.
jbltk: But why didn't you, even without any control, publicly state you felt Penguin's stance was unfair to Katie Jones, and why did you continue to plan to call your workshop by the same name?
ktarbox261: I never had any plans to do that and that is reported incorrectly.
jbltk: so Parry Aftab happens to be a lawyer who doesn't represent you and is only a victim's rights advocate?
jbltk: it just seems to me like you've played both sides, awaiting the outcome so you would be able to do what was most profitable for you, in regards to your future projects
ktarbox261: Parry Aftab is not my lawyer and never has been. My lawyer works out of Connecticut.
ktarbox261: I never asked anyone to call Katie Jones.
ktarbox261: I have always wanted Penguin to do the right thing . What you read is not the whole story.
jbltk: Then why did she call Katie Jones? What was the purpose of that call? Lawyers charge large amounts of money to do things like that. I find it hard to believe she'd make an international call like that without instruction from a client
jbltk: ok i'm listening
jbltk: please inform me of all the misinformation
ktarbox261: Parry is not my lawyer we have no written agreement, I have never paid her a single dime.
jbltk: FYI, I've yet to see an article that quotes you as being in favor of changing the title
ktarbox261: Look at my website
jbltk: I looked. I don't see anything said by you that indicates you favor a title change or sympathize with Ms. Jones. The only thing I've seen so far is your statement regarding the press release. Up until then, I'd never seen any news article that had you saying you felt sympathy or wanted a title change
jbltk: I know you may have signed your creative control over when you sold your book, but that didn't prevent you from speaking out publicly
jbltk: You see, it's easy to say all those things you say @ (Link: http://katiet.com/message1.htm)http://katiet.com/m essage1.htm after the fact, but you never said them until today
ktarbox261: I do sympathesize with Ms. Jones and the fact that I said I am excited to change the name of the book, that would show I am in favor of it.
ktarbox261: Unfortunately I couldn't speak about this issue until today.
jbltk: why is that?
ktarbox261: Because this issue was between Penguin and Ms. Jones.
jbltk: that hasn't prevented me or my peers from giving Penguin a hard time publicly or directly. Did you have some sort of confidentiality agreement or something?
ktarbox261: That is all I can say.
jbltk: OK, is it fair to say that you would have faced financial hardships had you made any statements on the issue?
ktarbox261: No it is not fair to say.
jbltk: It just seems to me that if you really thought what Penguin was doing was wrong, you should have piped up way back when this all started, unless you were under a contractual obligation to not speak about it.
jbltk: I'm not trying to be a jerk, there are just a bunch of inconsistencies that I see in this whole thing, and I really like to know the whole story
ktarbox261: I could not speak about it.
jbltk: Because of an agreement between yourself and the publisher?
ktarbox261: I could not speak ab

There's absolutely the possibility he uploaded some random face, but not likely.
Why would you put some old geezer's picture in the "About Me" section. If you're gonna use someone else's picture, it's either gonna be a highly recognizeable figure that everyone will know is a joke, or a picture of yourself.
Yes, actually. If you live in an area where you know leaving your door unlocked isn't such a bright idea, you deserve the consequences of your action. The only way you'll learn to lock your door is if you lose things you care about.
The same thing goes for your files you may accidentally share on your computer via P2P. If you lose your job because you let confidential corporate papers out on a P2P network, you'll never do something that stupid again, will you?
It's what we pragmatists call "learning from your mistakes". Unfortunately, in this day and age, no one seems to want to take responsibility for their actions.
How exactly is that invading someone's privacy? They shared the files out in the open. If they're too retarded to learn the simple steps of only sharing appropriate files, they get what they deserve.
Anyone notice his profile says he's 30 years old? Judging by the photo on the site, I'd venture to say that's off by about 20-30 years at the very least.
I'm confused. Is he advocating the military crack down on P2P in general, or on the use of P2P by soldiers? It's not like shutting off their access to P2P is gonna prevent the info from getting on there, it'll only prevent them from directly doing it themselves. The only way to do that is to prevent internet access entirely.

Keep the laptop in an "undisclosed location" until you're sure it's safe to come out again? WWCD? (What Would Cheney Do)
He shoots!
He scores!
Bravo.
You sir, are a douche bag.
I don't mind someone being skeptical of the content of my post, but to outright ridicule it is mean spirited and makes large assumptions.
Why don't you IM Katie and ask her if that conversation took place? The AOL name is her real name. Go ahead. Ask her. Fucking faggot.
I copied and pasted that, only putting spaces between messages to make it easier on the eyes.
I also changed my SN, because I really didn't feel like being deluged with IM's. I know I'm an ass, but that's how the chips fall.
Once again, fuck you.
I know! I was so tempted to tell her I was a 27 year old guy looking for a good time.
