Thanks for say that. I appreciate it. I have to try to live up to the hype now!  LOL.


In dealing with Matt for almost 3 years, I've made a few observations worth noting..

1. When he says he going to do something....he does something
2. No half measures, he always goes above and beyond for the greater cause!

A quick update: it looks like I won't be releasing the BGIEL report in March 2012 as I planned. I was ontrack until I got involved with a Hollywood Extortion case. You can read about it here:

http://www.extortionletterinfo.com/category/reality-steve-lawsuit-2/

I still have every intentions of releasing the beta version for the BGIEL report at a special price to get it out there but it will be postponed until April 2012.

I will also be establishing the new UK Getty Forum very soon and I still have to figure out how that forum will operate and who might be involved given that NONE of us are "experts" in the UK environment.

Believe me, I hate delaying the BGIEL report because I have other projects I need to start writing on but when unexpected events come up, I have to move on them.

Thanks for your patience. However, for those who absolutely cannot wait, I am still taking ELI Support Calls for those who need it.

Good evening sir amd all

     I am sure you are receiving a lot of request, but I have just received the infamous letter for ONE image on my website that I had no clue was copyrighted at all, and I was looking for the link to you beta book or any link to help state my repsonse. I removed all images (just to be sure) today, read all I could today on your ELI (great job btw). $780 for one image is ridiculous to me, and if there any beta of your first chapter specifically on response letter I would truly appreciate access or a quick advise if at all feasible. Based on Copyright Law of the United States of America and Related Laws Contained in Title 17 of the United States Code - Chapter 5 - Section 504 - c - 2, it seems a fair price if any (as my web designer did use unknowingly the image and I by association I guess) would be $200.

is that correct?

I am not lawyer just an acupuncturist trying to have ends meet which is tremendously hard these days.

I will continue to look on your web site (which is such a mind savior to know that I am not an horrible person as the letter made me feel, and not also the only one in this mess)

Again thank you for you work and hopefully help

respectfully
Pierre Bouchard

When you are ready to start it I would love to participate in the BETA program.  I will keep checking for a link.
Every situation is unique, any advice or opinions I offer are given for your consideration only. You must decide what is best for you and your particular situation. I am not a lawyer and do not offer legal advice.

Ok, ok!  Thanks for the kick in my tail. I deserve it. I truly need to get to the a good stopping point. If for no other reason, I don't want to embarrass myself further with a runaway deadline.

I already feel bad for getting sidetracked. But this is one of these times I don't mind people ganging up on me to get the darn thing done.  :-)  It will be good for everyone if I do.

Most questions have already been addressed in the forums, get yourself educated before making decisions.

Any advice is strictly that, and anything I may state is based on my opinions, and observations.

Matt this is a great initiative and that table of contents is daunting and impressive! Can I write the foreword?
