The Evil Empire Must Die

Art by DAMNFX from National Geographic
I may not be a lawyer, but I read this contract carefully about five times. There is nothing in it that says my book will be offered free of charge to Prime Members.

But the contract is not the issue. The issue is the fact that Prime Members are allowed to download thousands of eBooks for free without remuneration to the authors. This is very similar the Napster case several years ago.

I just need to find a law firm big enough with brass balls to take on a case of this magnitude. Believe me, I intend to devote the rest of my life to taking Amazon down, and the lawyer who takes on this case will win a settlement that will enable them to retire, and have enough money to give to their great grandchildren so they won't have to work either. Taking down Amazon is like taking down the biggest pharmaceutical company in the world.

I am doing this for my daughter, Samantha, who wants to be a writer, and has exceptional talent. I am doing this to save an arrogant industry from being slaughtered by an evil leviathan that wants to monopolize the digital world. They must be stopped. It must be. And I will be the one to sacrifice myself for future generations and the rights of creative artists across the world. I will not rest until I have accomplished my mission.

Please, if you are a creative artist, and you resent being exploited in this digital age, join me in the good fight against an Evil Empire that threatens to corner the market on consumer digital information.

All my love,

James M. Weil
