Dear Frank et al.:
We are NOT selling anything off of your (Frank's) website, nor are we copying
ANYTHING neither paraphrased nor verbatim on the CD-ROM or in email form. Please
folks, do not jump to conclusions on copyright law; some of the assumptions have been
a bit out of line INHO after this thread was brought to my attention. I'm a square
guy to deal with and not a fellow who does things to hurt, deceive or otherwise act
in a manner that is not ethical. We are simply GIVING AWAY the links with the
purchase as stated "**PLUS-AS AN ADDED BONUS**We will give you links with
instructions in order to do the following" to HELP the Newton user and linking and or
distribution of hyperlinks does not require royalties and you don't need a Juris
Doctor to ascertain that. I have plenty of law courses under my belt if you research
my background, albeit this is pointless as my company has not operated in any manner
in which I feel is deceptive nor illegal under UCC, Copyright nor Common Law. We, as
Victor stated have been good to deal with and I would like to pass on these links to
fellow Newton users to HELP them, and as you said yourself it could even lead to
sales. Victor, maybe take another look at the auction you are referring to when you
said, "Personally I think that doing this is despicable and low" as we are giving
away links-actually for FREE as a lot of users would like to do the upgrades in which
we don't even sell the parts, the people on the links sell them. The auction is for
a CD-ROM of information, The MONT BLANC of all Styli and Newton 2000, 2100 Clear
Screen Protectors as stated-the links are free.
FYI for anyone speculating, the Ebay information CD-ROM we have been selling for over
two years and it was examined and approved by Apple AND Ebay's VeRO program and we in
fact are Ebay VeRO members ourselves and this has nothing to do with your website.
If you like, I will send you a copy for free as it has a lot of nice utilities. If I
was taking bread off of your (Frank's) table I should be ashamed, but in fact I am
not taking bread off anyone's table. I'm a bit surprised to see people hop on the
bandwagon here and make serious assumptions as anyone who ahs dealt with myself or
Gementerprises has been quite please with over $1,000,000 in items sold just under
ILUVMYGTO and well over $200,000 of Newton equipment sold over the past three years.
Frank, if you link, I will discontinue the ads when they run out and not link anyone
to your website now or in the future, feel free to send a request to
GEM_at_Gementerprises.Com and or cal me personally with a request and I will be happy to
do so simply as a courtesy to you and certainly not under any legal obligation or
premise whatsoever.
Sincerely,
Gary E. Meyer
