Kicking myself for not buying it asap. God damnit.

From what I read in a chat they have with no specific examples or evidence from the swine.
Looks like we can get pat convicted if a felony if someone stepped up. Dan?
I can't tell if he denying that he filed the claim or if he's just saying the claim was not false. He is so fucking retarded he can't even form a logically consistent sentence.
Sounds like a dare to me.

Why do any of you think this is a DMCA claim?
Regardless of Pat’s claims, Owen will be informed by Amazon on the source of all this. If it’s Patrick with a false DMCA, then he’s fucked. He also is still quite fat.

Glad I got the book while it was still up. Excellent read. I don't think I've ever laughed that much at a book by a "professional author." There's no justice in this world that the hacky writers and standups get the big money gigs, while brilliant humorists like Mr. Forrems are relegated to selling their works for a dollar a pop.
As far as it getting taken down, do we know for certain it was a DMCA claim? There's other books with the same name so I don't see how he could even claim that. It could be a content thing. I know authors like James LaFond have had some of their stuff taken off of Amazon. How Amazon would've been alerted to that so quickly is another issue.

Probably lack of a better term.
I’m still at work, butt:
Was pat going to name his book the same title?
All I know is in the mid 2000s, Offspring was going to name their album ‘Chinese democracy’ to piss off Axl Rose. Axl Rose I believe got a lawyer and Offspring backed off.

I'm laying in bed reading the Goodreads reviews and I don't remember laughing this hard in years. My ribs are absolutely disintegrated
Zactly.
Back when Pat was squealing about the entirely accurate reviews of his more anti-semitic works going up on Amazon, his file-trading partners at the SFWA cut a backdoor deal with Goodreads (and I think Amazon, who own Goodreads) to brutally censor the voices of those who speak out against SFWA members.
I'm assuming this is just more of that bullshit.
One option, since we can't turn to Dan, is to transfer copyright to Big Dick Andrew if he's willing to fight to get it reinstated. He contacts Amazon and asks what the issue is. If it's a DMCA claim, he can file a counter claim for free, and at that point The Pig will need to hire a lawyer and go to court to defend it; plus we might get to see a copy of his book for "comparison purposes". If it's SFWA backdoor action, BDA could send a letter of demand to Amazon for free, and follow that up by filing in small claims court, which is usually about $50, and you don't need a lawyer to do it. Then Amazon either put it back on sale, or cough up a couple of grand in lawyer's fees, which Andrew wouldn't be liable for even if he loses. My guess is they'll just start selling it again, rather than spend any money of someone else's fight.

Going to be real great when one of the the creative rascals gets bored and writes an unauthorized biography of Rick, complete with comprehensive, lock tight sources.
I thought it was going to be "Chinese Demo-Crazy," which is fairly different, but I remember that too. Axl gets mad at people pointing out his fatness.... really makes you think.

This. There are plenty of people here who wouldn't mind doxxing themselves to overturn a phony DMCA
