Part 1--Bitter Experiences with Lulu and Amazon

I posted this video because: 1) Print on Demand, unknown authors are having their creative files taken from them without compensation, and the government doesn't care; 2) I have lost control of creative work because I did business with Lulu Press and want to warn about the real nightmare of going the P.O.D. route; and 3) I WANT MY FILES BACK. I have to give my files away for free now, in order to compete with the Goliath of the publishing industry (I have boycotted Amazon since early 2008). After all the money I paid to see my manuscripts in print, now I give them away for free while Bob Young made a nice penny on me (mysite.verizon.net/hpalencar).

Celebrities get thieves prosecuted for what Lulu and Amazon have done to me and others. No attorney general from a pertinent state will call what these intellectual property merchants have done by its correct name: theft, not a tort or civil wrong. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act wasn't written to protect only celebrities. Or maybe it was...
