    I took a stroll down the seedy path this evening and found links to Degree.net, and 3 covers of Dr. Bear's books portayed as sponsor of their site.

    I am certain that degree.net would never sponsor a site whose primary goal is to assist others in obtaining fake ID's and diplomas.

    I wonder if they are violating copyright by showing the actual cover art of the John's books... Anyone know?

    By the way - when you mouse-hover over the pictures of Dr. Bears books - read the pop-up tip (sponser is spelled sponsor..) - I guess I shouldn't expect too much in the way of correct spelling.

    How very distressing. I know that my publisher (to whom I have forwarded uxu's post) believes covers can be protected -- because for my book The #1 New York Times Bestseller*, they felt it was essential to get permission from every publisher of the several hundred covers of books depicted. So I hope they'll pursue this interloper.

    I think that this is old news. I vaguely remember someone bringing it up this summer, and Justin (or somebody) saying, either on here or in private email, that Ten Speed was pursuing it.

    I guess it got "back burnered".
