    Need someone to protect your content then?

    Can I recommend the esteemed services of my colleague Mr. Gordon P. Firemark?

    Act now and you get 2 for 1 on copyright claims!

    Dicky: feel free to pitch your books, but no direct links to payment mechanisms, such as paypal or other credit card processing. You can link to your blog or to an Amazon page, that's still fine.

    Chup: Does Firemark do copyright law now?

    Zombie: Probably nobody, there was something in some posts> It was a misunderstanding and has been corrected.

    All: this is really an announcement thread, wasn't intended for open discussion, so these posts are now split to a separate thread, with the pinned thread locked.

    This could be spelled out more clearly in the announcement thread. Since wordforge originally takes its name from the intentions behind the Workshop, it would be nice to emphasize that telling people about our creative work, if we choose to do so, is ok.
