A Decade of the DMCA

by Marcia K. Wilbur

In 1998, the DMCA was passed into law. Since that time, many cases emerged. Background information relevant to copyright law and some cases are included. Over the past decade, some DMCA related protests were held. This book chronicles some of these events. In many cases in the past decade fair use was little or no consideration.

In some of the more recent cases, fair use has been a consideration, which is somewhat of a relief to those who wish to create parodies and conduct research. However, there is no guarantee that any future cases that clearly fall under fair use will be seen as such by the courts. The examples in the book are not my DMCA story, but the story of Americans (and others) impacted by the DMCA. These are their stories, their experiences and some of their suggestions.

Cheeky Top Ten: Naked Shower Scenes

by Mr E

This ebook includes images taken from some of the sexiest shower scenes in movies. The judging criteria was as follows:

• Only scenes with girls in are allowed. No naked men here.
• Fully naked is lots better than topless.
• And, the more girls naked, the better!
• How much I enjoyed watching the scene.

Therefore, expect this ebook to include full frontal female nudity from as many girls as possible. If this ebook gets a lot of downloads (and I can’t see why it won’t!) then I will start work on another with a similar theme. Bet you can’t wait until you get to the top three. They are absolute crackers!!

Dream Lover

by Jean MacIntyre

Charly applies for a position as a Farm Insurance Inspector, a position traditionally held by the male gender, and knows she has not chosen an easy path. This is confirmed when she comes up against a very antagonistic director of the company at her final interview. She issues a challenge to him – to supervise her for three days, at no salary, and if her work is satisfactory, to then hire her. Fate takes them into a situation they couldn’t have anticipated and changes their relationship completely, but circumstances and personal beliefs keep them apart. They compensate by recording and exchanging their dreams, thus becoming close without being together physically, until fate intervenes once more.
