I've Been Consumed!

I recently wrote a post about the Zombie Survival Guide (which I just picked up but haven't yet read). Then today I noticed a web site had quoted me and was driving traffic to my site.

Evidently, the web site AllConsuming.net watches blogs for mentions of books and automagically quotes them in its listings.

I'm still not sure how I feel about that. They quoted the post in its entirety, and they derive commissions from the books they sell via Amazon, therefore I'm not convinced that what they are doing qualifies as "Fair Use" under copyright law. I want my cut of their cut!

Heading your way for the weekend and hoping this storm passes before we have to make our way over the grapevine! We'll be in Martinez. Steven's dad had a stroke a couple of months ago and we need to get him "settled" in assisted living where he's going, against his will. BTW, if you happen to be down this way, Steven will be at the Magic Castle December 13th through the 19th. Let me know if you're in the neighborhood. I'll put you on our guest list.
