<nettime> RE: False Allegation of Copyright Violation |
[orig To: "'John Young'" <jya@pipeline.com>] Dear Mr. Young: I do apologize for having angered the many individuals who may have received my message and especially to you. I obviously did not understand what sort of service you provided to nettime and I had no idea that my message to you and to nettime would be appear in places it was never meant to be. The mistake is mine and should not be attributed to Professor Frankfurt or to Princeton University Press. Sincerely, Joan Gilbert, chastened and repentant -----Original Message----- From: John Young [mailto:jya@pipeline.com] Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2005 8:52 AM To: Joan Gilbert Cc: nettime-l@bbs.thing.net Subject: False Allegation of Copyright Violation Dear Ms. Gilbert, Your allegation is mistaken, our site never published On Bullshit, but merely pointed to a web site where is could be read. We have seen a number of your shotgun allegations fired at various innocents and noted the adverse effect they are having on the reputations of Princeton University Press Mr. Frankfurt. If Princeton University Press is above contrition due to DMCA obsession, it would ease the damage you have done to Mr. Frankfurt's now tarnished reputation if you would reissue all your blundering messages with an apology, as Mr. Frankfurt has done in one instance after he learned of your demonstrating the point of his essay.
