Scam literary agent run to ground

Scam literary agent run to ground 11/19/2003 02:46 AM
A grifter who has made it her practice to rip off naive writers with a phony literary agency has been snagged, after a bewlidering array of international scores:

In a burst of activity, Melanie Mills--long known to be a scam literary agent--has promoted a nonexistent writers' conference in South Carolina, which she then cancelled without sending anyone their promised refunds on memberships they'd bought; faked her own death, masquerading as her own assistant and possibly as her own daughter as well; shut down her operation in North Myrtle Beach SC, and decamped to Canada; while operating under the name "Elizabeth von Hullessem", fraudulently promoted and sold memberships in a nonexistent literary conference in Banff (trading on the reputation of the prestigious Banff-Calgary Wordfest), plus an equally nonexistent charity concert in Banff to benefit autism; and vanished from Banff with tens of thousands of dollars in convention fees.

If I weren't trying so hard to reduce my POC (piles of crap) quotient, I'd yank out the PayPal right now and buy some of the amazing North Korean books and handpainted movie and propaganda posters offered on this website. Shown here, "On The Art of The Cinema" and "The Great Teacher of Journalists," two tomes penned by film buff (not a joke) and dictator Kim Jong Il. Link (Thanks, Clifford Son).

Software patents are bad for coders like

Software patents are bad for coders like
literary patents would be for writers 06/22/2005 01:49 AM
Cory Doctorow: Richard Stallman, creator of the Free Software movement, has written a tremendous essay for the Guardian on the risks of software patents. Richard undertakes a gedankenexperiment about "literary patents" and the impact they would have had on Victor Hugo as he sat down to pen Les Miserables.

Now consider this hypothetical literary patent: Claim 1: a communication process that represents, in the mind of a reader, the concept of a character who has been in jail for a long time and subsequently changes his name...

These patents would all cover the story of one character in a novel. They overlap, but they do not precisely duplicate each other, so they could all be valid simultaneously - all the patent holders could have sued Victor Hugo. Any one of them could have prohibited publication of Les Misérables.

You might think these ideas are so simple that no patent office would have issued them. We programmers are often amazed by the simplicity of the ideas that real software patents cover - for instance, the European Patent Office has issued a patent on the progress bar, and one on accepting payment via credit cards. These would be laughable if they were not so dangerous.
