I don't think this is viral material. There are only about 3 million collectors worldwide. It's something many people will find not find shocking or interesting. :(

That, in a way, is my point. A cat face planting into a window is funny to many. It requires no thinking and requires no action, like the song you mentioned. There is not enough flammable material around for this to turn into a wildfire. Something that made less than 1000 people unhappy is not enough IMO.

Social Media is free, instant and you have the ability to tag an infinite number of media outlets local and national. Doesnt hurt to try - if nothing else, their company trends for all the wrong reasons. You might even pique the interest of a lawyer or two. Its the best of all worlds and absolutely worth however much time you dedicate to it - just one more front on the battlefield and a very front facing one. Id argue much more effective than emailing CEOs.

There are still Bob Dylan fans who may care that he's trying to scam people. Book lovers may not be too happy with Simon and Schusters attempts at fraud. I think in general, this story affects everyone in that companies still try to take advantage of others. Ive mentioned this to family and friends already who couldn't care less about autographs, books, or Dylan and they seemed to be pretty interested. Maybe they were just being nice lol

"...this story affects everyone in that companies still try to take advantage of others...."

That is a given. If it isn't it should be.

I'm not against the gist of all this at all BTW.

WHSmith didn't either.

It's one thing to sell a signed book at MSRP, so arguably the signature came free, but another to upcharge $570 for an authentic signature.

And she has done this a few times now. One with an old template too.

As far as im aware, no one admitted it, but they eventually all did accept returns. I believe some were able to get a refund for songteller without even returning the items. I think from Chronicle. I did not return my 2 books. Both autopened and still sitting on my shelf

You say to them anybody with half a brain can see they are autopen - please don't take me for a fool - They are all autopen - they are using 13 different autopen templates - but they are all autopen !

If you keep this fraud up i will be forced to take this as far as i need to go to get my money back !
