Moira,
I am a rational, fair and understanding person. Moreover, most of all, I am very concerned about your sadness and frustration. Really, I am. I wouldn't be replying to your complaint on LibroVox if I weren't.
To regain your confidence in the U.S. Marine for whom you totally despise and for whom you have absolutely no respect, I will promptly remove the entire Sun Tzu recordings from my site. Moreover, I will remove the files from my Web site and "destroy" them "to alleviate" your heightened sense of anxiety, anger and frustration. Also, your good name "Moira Fogarty" will also be "removed" from my Wil's Domain E-Store and my site Wil's Domain, a social/information network.
I am highly confident, as a result of my prompt actions, that I (Wil Ford, U.S.M.C.) will be deemed as a honorable United States Marine who is rational, fair and understanding. Perhaps you, too, can give me my good name back. However, that would prove impossible because you "venomously labeled" me on this site as a "profit-mongering scumbag." My reputation is now shot. Touché, Moira! Touché! I am wounded!
But, I digress...
Regarding my "using" your identity and good name "Moira Fogarty,"
chocoholic and the entire LibriVox Admin Team will attest to the fact that I am giving you attribution. Period! I have duly posted that Sun Tzu: Art of War is "narrated by Moira Fogarty."
According to Wikipedia:
"In copyright law, attribution is the requirement to acknowledge or credit the author of a work which is used or appears in another work."
If I were not giving you attribution, that would most definitely constitute a total fraud.
If I had removed your name and later claimed to hold copyright to the Sun Tzu: The Art of War recordings that would also constitute a fraud. Am I correct, Moira?
So, explain to everyone here at LibroVox why giving you attribution constitutes "criminality," Moira? Have you ever read LibroVox's Terms of Service? Giving you attribution is your assurance that your hard word is duly recognized.
Hmmm...
In fact, I am rightfully giving you attribution one of the most visited blog directories on the planet earth: Wil's Domain... the most preferred destination of activist bloggers of virtually every rational niche.
Hmmm... Interesting.
Explain to everyone here at LibroVox why you have opted to infer that "Wil Ford the United Stated Marine" is violating the "identity and good name of Moira Fogarty."

?
Hmmm... Very very interesting.
Explain to everyone here at LibroVox why you "consented to released your work under the Public Domain" and later conveniently cry foul because "Wil Ford the United States Marine" somehow is "profiting from your good name." Would you care to explain your reasoning, Moira?
Your smearing "Wil Ford the United Stated Marine" on LibriVox is not in "congruent" with a person who is "civic" and "smart." If you had contacted me directly, I would have complied out of common courtesy... despite the fact I have the right of fair use any "Public Domain" posted on LibroVox. Nonetheless, I would have complied, Moira. Why not? I am a rational, fair and understanding person.

?
Hmmm... Very very very interesting.
You should have contacted me directly, Moira. If you had the decency to contact me to share your concerns, I would have promptly removed the Sun Tzu recordings immediately. Such a request is not difficult for me. That is why I have posted a "Feedback Page" on my Web site. You should used the Feedback form to notify me immediately, Moira. I am not an anonymous "scumbag" who hides behind a computer screen and weird screen name.
Wow... Amazing!
Why the angst, Moira? Why are you harboring hostility and ill feelings towards me whom you never met while extending compassion or sympathy for resellers on eBay?
What do you think about Google reselling works in the Public Domain? Don't believe me? Google it, Moira! Google it!
You should have contacted me directly. Despite the fact that I have not violated LibroVox's "Terms of Service," I would have respected your request and promptly remove the recordings. Why not? I am a rational, fair and understanding person, Moira.
Prejudice is reprehensible and criminal to one's intellect.
Perhaps you think I am still currently serving in the United States Marine Corps. WRONG!
I am a veteran of the Cold War era who opposes unjust wars done in the name of honest American citizens. I am not a war monger. You should have contacted me directly. How tragic! (Sigh!)
Perhaps you think I am using the profits from your recording to fund "unjust jihad" against the innocent in certain countries that hate America. WRONG AGAIN, Moira Fogarty!
Prejudice is not only reprehensible and criminal to one's intellect it is also injurious one's soul and absolutely STUPID!
Grrr!
You should have contacted me directly, Moira. I am taken aback that you are not the Moira Fogarty I assume you were. It is unfortunate that you have opted to libel me on LibroVox as opposed to contacting me directly about your "concerns." I am a sympathetic and civic person. If you have contacted me instead of smearing me, I would have fulfilled your request without question. I would have also offered you emotional support.
But you opted to go bonkers on LibroVox, the very Web site to which you consented to released the Sun Tzu: The Art of War recordings under the "Public Domain."
Not reading LibroVox's "Terms of Service" is inexcusable.
Libel is criminal and could result in a lawsuit. $$$!
Moreover, it is unfortunate you haven't done your due diligence and read LibroVox's "Terms of Service" prior to your consenting to release the sun Tzu recording into the "Public Domain."
Alas, what a tragedy, Moira! What a shame! What legal recourse do I have! What legal recourse do I have!
Have you wondered why I am transparent on the Internet?
Answer: I have NOTHING to hide. I have absolutely nothing to hide, Moira.
I want to be easily found because I love helping others in need. I run a free blog directory which is one of the most visited sites of its kind in the world. My site Wil's Domain is a gift to humanity.
Yes, you have spent many UNPAID hours to superbly record Lionel Giles' outstanding translation work. Yes, I sincerely understand, Moira! I sincerely understand! However, I founded a social/information network of bloggers. Since the inception of Wil's Domain, I spend many UNPAID hours promoting the works of my fellow bloggers, all of whom also are contributing to humankind... Unpaid!
I am wondering what is actually fueling your anger, Moira. I, Wil Ford, am not like the thousands people who are reselling the LibriVox recordings you produced, most of whom sell on sites like Amazon.com, E-Music.com, etc. Soon, GOOGLE will join the crowd. Boy, Moira, Google will generate a lot of money off your "sweat equity." If that were not your intent, you should have paid more attention to LibroVox Terms of Service...
According to LibroVox:
"others can use our recordings however they wish, including for commercial purposes"
Please read the notice on the "COPYRIGHT AND PUBLIC DOMAIN" page:
The fact is that you made a recording based on Lionel Giles' public domain book: "Sun Tzu: The Art of War." You hold no "copyright" to the late Mr. Giles work. Moreover, you released the recordings under the "Public Domain."
Please... please please read the notice on the "COPYRIGHT AND PUBLIC DOMAIN" page for yourself, Moira.
In fact, I am willing to bet you will be shocked upon your discovering the answer to the following question:
Which of the following three listings have been posted by an individual who has NOT PROFITED from the "identity" of Moira Fogarty or the Sun Tzu recordings?
http://www.emusic.com/artist/Moira-Fogarty-MP3-Download/12185502.html
http://e-store.wilsdomain.com/the-art-of-war-by-sun-tzu/
http://www.amazon.com/Art-War-Unabridged-Sun-Tzu/dp/B0022XXUY6
Answer: Wil Ford of Wil's Domain. Surprised?
Here's an easier question, hun:
Which of the following three listings have been posted by an individual who is not a profit-mongering scumbag?
http://www.emusic.com/artist/Moira-Fogarty-MP3-Download/12185502.html
http://e-store.wilsdomain.com/the-art-of-war-by-sun-tzu/
http://www.amazon.com/Art-War-Unabridged-Sun-Tzu/dp/B0022XXUY6
Answer: Wil Ford of Wil's Domain. Surprised again?
Are you comprehending what I am trying to convey to you, Moira?
Regarding the sale of Sun Tzu: the Art of War, my site hasn't generated NOT ONE sale of your good name "Moira Fogarty." PayPal.com will attest to the fact iron-clad proof that I have NEVER profited from the recordings. I am utterly amazed that you found the page on which I have posted the info to the late Lionel Giles' translation work.
As I have stated earlier: I am a rational, fair and understanding person.
Nonetheless, I am glad grateful that LibroVox has afforded me the opportunity to reply to your unwarranted allegations and trumped-up charges. Moreover, I am NOT a war propagandist.
I am NOT Paul Josef Goebbels, Moira. Moreover, I am NOT a Reichsminister of Propaganda for German dictator Adolf Hitler. Moira Fogarty, what is your problem?
I am stunned that I am replying to Moira Fogarty, one of LibroVox's talented contributors for whom I have respect and admiration.
Sigh...
I am not your enemy, Moira. I am a "disabled" United States Marine who is using various online and offline fund-raising methods of choice to fund a "pet project" about which I am 100% passionate: stop animal cruelty campaign as evidenced by my Twitter group We Love Our Pets. Check it your self, "Moira Fogarty."
http://twitter.com/WeLoveOurPets
At the time of my posting this reply to your "complaint," nearly 2,000 people are connecting with my "Stop Animal Cruelty" campaign. I am an advocate against "Animal Cruelty" not promoting unjust wars done in the name of honest Americans. Period!
Because you have smeared my name and reputation here at LibroVox, I am entitled to post this lengthy reply.
I am not a monster, Moira. I am committed to bettering humankind, my ethic of kindness, and am taking immediate action to ensure that animal cruelty laws are obeyed. I was hoping to fund both the
children rights campaign and the
We Love Our Pets with various fund raising. I work UNPAID hours as a volunteer for many "nameless" worthy charities, too.
Don't believe me, check my anti-animal group for yourself:
http://twitter.com/WeLoveOurPets
Also, check the children rights work which I work as a silent worker, exposing the evil of the child sex trade industry:
Please check the video entitled "Little Good Girls vs. Big Evil Monsters (Expose This Secret)" on YouYube, which received nearly 40,000 views. The child sex trade is one other criminal against humanity I vow to combat with my fellow children rights advocates.

Because you "suggested" that I am using LibroVox recording to promote war propaganda, I thought I would give you a large dose of "reality." I am NOT the money-grabbing fiend you have portrayed here at LibroVox. Defamation is not the answer, Moira. Libel is reckless expression of hate. You should have contacted me in stead of libeling me on LibroVox.
You know my name. You have visited my site. Surely, you could have notify me, Moira. Shame on you!
There is a Feedback page on my site! Shame on you, Moira! You know better! Shame on you!
My involvement in combating against children and animal cruelty renders your rant lame. You should have contacted me in stead of libeling me on LibroVox.
I am a human being. I am not a monster. I am busting my butt day-after-day to raising funds during this recession. Money is tight, Moira. Funding is hard to get now due to the Wall Street scandal and the greed of "corporatists" (don blame honest "capitalists").
The Sun Szu recording could have been a contender. I would have raised funds from the recording for worthy causes. My disability compels me to get involved in anti-animal cruelty campaigns. I am not an evil warmonger. You have the audacity to lecture anyone on ethics and morality!
Green Peace have acknowledge my Weblog entry on the illegal overfishing of Bluefin Tuna! I am not a terrorist! I am not a warmonger!
Do us all a favor and check out the proof, Moira:
Click on the links entitled:
"
Nobu, who serve up bluefin as sushi to celebrity diners"
and
"
Mitsubishi, who are the biggest traders in bluefin"
Both link's on Green Peace's Web pages below are redirected to my Weblog: Wil's Domain Weblog.
Don't take my word, dear. Check the proof for yourself:
http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/blog/oceans/turkey-gobbles-tuna-20090511
Now that I have proven my case, I must post the following statement:
Because of your careless and disregard to reading LibroVox "Terms of Service," you give me no other civic choice...
I have suddenly opted to keep the recording on my site. No, I am not taking caving in to your extortion here at LibroVox!
How dare you contribute something to LibroVox and later take back what you have already released to the "Public Domain!"
How dare you libel me!
Regarding the "money back guarantee," you will be hard-pressed to find the majority of others to be not only as transparent as me (easy to contact).
You would also be hard-pressed to get your "MONEY BACK" from the most of the people selling the recording online.
Explain to everyone here at LibroVox what is shady about my willing to return anyone's money if he or she requested a refund?
Explain what my next action should be, "Moira Fogarty?"
Now, I must go feed my animal shelter-rescued Burmese kittens, Milo and Sasha. Milo is "crying" for some milk. Because I can see that this is leading to nowhere, I will end my reply now.
In closing,
It is unfortunate that you opted to libel me in LibroVox's forum. Also, it unfortunate that you have not afforded me the opportunity to accommodate your "Removal Request," despite the fact LibroVox' "Terms of service clearly states:
I shall return within 24 hours of my posting this reply to read your public apology. As you making an informed your "mea culpa" decision, I may seek legal advice regarding the libel issue here at LibroVox. Moira Fogarty, I am disappointed in you. You should have known better.
Regarding the recordings, I have changed my mind. I have decided to resume promoting the Sun Tzu: The Art of War on my sites; however, I will continue giving you proper attribution as "the narrator."
Take very good care of yourself, Moira. I mean that with sincerely in my heart. Please be good to yourself. There is no malice in my heart. Animosity is not flowing trough my veins. Hatred in not my master.
Sadly, you have exhibited total disregard to LibroVox's "Terms of Service." Moreover,
you opted to post false and malicious statements on this site each of which is injurious to me as a person.
I am appalled to witness such tragedy here at LibroVox. What a disgraceful blow to humanity. you are a very talented and resourceful woman. I would have been honored to blog about the many issues in which you are interested.
Green Peace recognized my humble blogging efforts about the overfishing of bluefin tuna and the shady sushi industry.
My fellow members of We Love Our Pets recognized my humble efforts.
Many other wonderful and smart people have also recognize the manu unpaid hours I contribute to humanity.
What happened, Moira?
I would love to give you FREE and and maximum exposure on Wil's Domain.
I would love to promote your works "Roughing It in the Bush" and "Emma" by Jane Austen; however, you have revealed your "dark and sinister side," Moira.
Please be good to yourself. I do not harbor hostility or ill feelings towards you.
What a shame! What a waste!
Take care.
Wil Ford, U.S.M.C.
P.S. Ignorance and hate solves nothing. Love solves everything.
P.S.S. I hope others learn from your blatant disregard to LibroVox "Terms of Service."
P.S.S.S. If you elect not to post a public apology to "make me whole as a person," I shall prevail regarding the social injustice you have inflicted upon the LibroVox community.
P.S.S.S.S. Moira, I am expecting to view your immediate apology posted here on LiBroVox's Web site. I am not the only one here affected by your unfortunate smear campaign. Explain why should anyone trust contributors like you? Explain why? Please do humanity the favor of doing the "smart" and "civil" thing: apologize. Please say you were just kidding. I still can't believe you are smearing me over recordings you have consented to release under the "Public Domain." Good grief!
P.S.S.S.S.S. Unlike BellonaTimes, I don't get involved in a serious issue until I have heard "both sides" of an issue. Inflicting bodily harm on innocent is criminal. What some deemed as a joke, others take such foolish statements very seriously... including this United States Marine! BellonaTimes, be careful what you post. You may have posted it as a joke but I srongly urge you to read Librovix's Terms of Service. Hearsay is folly. Take care, everyone. I must GO now because Sasha is now crying like her brother Milo. Peace!
