Ahhhh...poor Harlan. (joke, guys, joke) You know, in person, he's one of my favorite convention people and he's extremely smart. But he is a bit of a pit bull when it comes to his legal rights.
But there ya go. What I've got to do is go post all my stuff to pirate sites (badly scanned versions, of course) then post that the pretty and legit copies are available at CC!
Whole new ad campaign! (where's my pirate hat?) Arrr!
Yes! I knew there had to be one.
