Want me to send it out to you and you can put on whatever size hardware cloth you want, or if you tell me, I'll put the correct size on and send it out. What an offer!!!!

Hardware cloth doesn't have to be exotic, I think a trip to the local hardware store would be one source. Putting the box together would be a matter of cutting the boards to length, then glue and nail them using butt joints. You don't need to miter them, cut rabbets, or finger joints. Staple the hardware cloth, be done! If you don't have access to a heavy duty stapler, you could get the small staples used for electrical wiring and hammer them in. As for getting the box square, if you don't have a carpenter's or speed square, use a magazine as your square, it won't be as sturdy, but at least on the worktable, it'll give you an indication of how close to square you are.

File! File!, and then carry out said Filing! I have just the thing for long distance "carrying out" of missions such as that. Effective range: 2,000 yards. projectile: .30-06 150 gr Spitzer boat-tail FMJ, velocity: > 2,700 feet per second "Launch" platform: U.S. Rifle, .30 Caliber, M1, also known as the Garand. We can set up "shop" on a rooftop, I've got a spotting scope, and the rest, shall we say, is history. We can take out monitors, computers, networking equipment, keyboards, desk lamps, and USB hubs. That'll l'arn 'em! Of course, I would never endorse violence against individuals, unless said individuals were threatening me with immediate bodily harm. I’m with OSG, File! File!

Amazon can't seem to weed out the pirates from the genuine article (no pun). When they do, their response is to penalize the people who have inadvertently downloaded the illegal copy (think the 1984 kafuffle), and who knows what happens to the pirates. I was considering buying a Kindle, but until Amazon can vet all its downloads to be non-pirated, I think I'll wait. Sad. Amazon can’t seem to weed out the pirates from the genuine article (no pun).

Do you have the list from the Google ****? Seems like you should massage that into as many form emails as you have books, and if Amazon wants to be buried in DCMA take-down emails, let 'em! If they miss one, they're out of the DCMA safe harbor. I know in California you could easily do a power of attorney (POA) solely for the purpose of issuing DCMA warnings (if you could find a volunteer). Under CA law, if you use the standard (statutory) form, anyone who ignores the POA is liable to be sued in the CA local court and must pay attorney fees. I have personally gotten BofA to fold in five minutes by showing them the POA with the highlighted statues appended. They sent it to Legal, and Legal folded fast. You might see if WA has such provisions. Meanwhile, feed the nice koi: http://braingames.nytimes.com/partner/nytimes/playing-koi I think the DCMA complaints are the way to go.

It seems to me as long as Amazon gets their percentage of the transaction, it's not really in their interest to care. Reading this is giving me flashbacks to some of my battles with the federal bureaucracy. I have no idea if it would help, but you also might try filing a Freedom of Information Act request to Amazon, in hopes of getting some more account information about your pirates and making the Feds aware of this.

Since this involves every working writer, for every title these jerks can google, this would take an operation the size of the federal government to fill out their paperwork. I have sent back a letter to Amazon explaining that fact, and if the 'bot doing the answering can contact a human being, perhaps they will realize their tail is on fire.

You might check your favorite authors and musicians on Amazon for starters with the following in the Kindle section "authorname books llc" and see what turns up. Then advise the writer of any findings via their website. It’s better than this, friends: these people have the same ad up for every author I’ve yet checked.
