Dear John

   In message 17633 on the Harry Potter board for adult fans, 
Dave Hardenbrook has violated copyright law by posting lengthy 
excerpts from my book "HARRY POTTER AND THE BIBLE. I have 
NOT given him to do so and respectfully ask that this posting be 
removed IMMEDIATELY. Please e-mail me at 
richardabanes at earthlink.net to verify that the posting has been 
removed. I sent Dave the following message:


>Okay, I have no problem with giving page references... The

>all to draw your own conclusions.  

     I appreciate your page references. That's great. Unfortunately, 
your reproduction of the texts in such lengthy quotations is a 
violation of copyright law and I would respectfully ask that you 
remove them from the board and not post anymore to teh 
internet in such lengthy portions. That is not consistent with 
copyright fair use laws. And as teh author who holds the 
copyright, I have the obligation / and right to grant permission for 
short quotes necessaary for explanatory examples. But what you 
have posted is simply straight out lengthy quotations. Sorry.


Cordially Richard Abanes
