Tim says: "More copyright absurdity: Publishers Weekly reports on an author who has filed suit against bookstores for selling his book."
According to [Valerie F. Horn, author Larry Townsend's attorney], [the author's distributor, Oklahoma-based Nazca Plains Corp] copied Townsend's works without permission and then distributed the books to the booksellers. This, she said, results in "liability to all those within the chain of distribution." Horn also added that whether the booksellers named knowingly or unknowingly sold ripped-off books is irrelevant, as per the copyright statute.
