RE: I'm a Sell-Out! (But Not Really)

Awesome.

While I unfortunately will not be able to come out as highest bidder with the funds I have, I do want to mention something important: It has happened in the past that valuable projects or paradigm-busters have been simply bought up by a large investor for the sole purpose of silencing them.

Will your contract include a guarantee, that this book will be kept alive at all?

Case in point: everybody remembers myspace. I stumbled upon the claim that Rupert Murdoch actually bought off myspace for whatever fairytale reasons, to 'continue the mission', to 'further improve the site' and so on, blablabla, according to Wikipedia anyway. And it's fairly evident to an independent mind what happened there.

While myspace may not have been a savior of humanity in the sense that your book can be, selling it conveniently got myspace out of the way for the facebook empire to emerge.
What a 'coincidence'! ;)

If you visit myspace today you will see that a) it's still online! and b) none of the alleged reasons for selling it to Murdoch were valid, but propaganda. It's a horrible site today, and to my mind only keeps existing to hold it down, as our friend 'Tom' was simply bought of, calling it something else to not lose ALL of his credibility in the public arena. It reeks!

And even 1 Mio dollars is nothing to some people in the machine who can see the revolutionary potential for humanity that is carried in your book. A rather small price to pay to keep everybody in line.

I am saying: Just be careful man. Your book is too valuable to be bought by some cartel higher-up and then quickly disappear forever due to a missing clause in the contract.

OR you manage to get such a high bid that it literally doesn't matter what happens to the book, because projects like "the mirror" might dwarf even "the most dangerous superstition".

Good luck and many high bids to you for your amazing work.

Sort:  

Yes, built into the agreement will be the condition that if they don't keep the book in print and available to the public, the rights automatically revert to me.
