| You probably notice that this page is simple
black text on a white background. The reason is that the topic that we would
like to briefly address is just that--black and white. There is absolutely
no gray area when it comes to theft.
The Book Of Spirits Séance is a very unusual item. After all, it is not just another book
of effects, it is an entire performance--including props. For this reason,
we have taken extra precautions to help protect the rights of each authorized
purchaser.
Sadly, there are certain individuals that simply
do not respect the rights of others, and often those people feel that they
are above the law. Simply put, they make illegal copies of items to give
to their friends or, worse yet, sell to others. Not only is this a criminal
act, it is also pompous, rude, and horribly unfair to every decent person
in our industry.
With the constant changes in technology, such thievery
is more common than ever before. And so, for the protection of each authorized
purchaser of The Book Of Spirits Séance, we have devised a
very clever (yet very well hidden) method of coding each authorized copy
that is sold. In essence, each of the three binders included with each authorized
set of The BOSS is different from all of the other sets in circulation.
The individual markings for each set are buried
deep within the body of each binder. This process is possible because of
the fact that we print, and assemble, each BOSS ourselves--and with
this being such a limited release, we simply maintain a database that contains
the pertinent information for each authorized set that is sold.
Our goal is to preserve the rights of those that
purchase this special release, and we intend to pursue legal action against
any individual that makes, and/or distributes, illegal copies of The
Book Of Spirits Séance. We have strived to keep the purchase
price of this limited release as low as possible so that it could be within
the reach of any serious performer. In our humble (and, in this case, 100%
correct) opinion, there is absolutely no acceptable reason to ever make
illegal copies of any commercial item. (And, in fact, the same is certainly
true for all forms of intellectual property--whether it has been published
or not.) But with all of that said, for those that may choose to ignore
the law, we look forward to seeing you in court.
