        You could just reply back and say "Hey that's awesome! I would take the copy your purchased and gift it to your friend! Like minds think alike ... no?"

        It's a wonder how these type of people have this much time to spend on trying to deceive ... I wonder where they would be if they actually put their efforts into something useful! <-- that's the lame blue smiley in case you can't see it!

        **Note to MODS! ... Fix the smileys! Biggest marketing forum around and you offer up the lamest smileys! How can all the talented people that are still here truly express themselves? The smileys really are THE reason so many have left. <<-- in case you can't see it either... that's the yellow one. It signifies a faint smile, perhaps a slight hint of "kidding", but mostly, it looks like someone has to use the restroom. "I'm kidding, I'm smiling and I gotta PEE!"

    Yeah, sure, your name is on the cover, but I sorted alla the content —

    an' now I want alla the money I'm due!

    Also: I demand your cool truck!


    (Spoiler alert: recycled Seasoned exclamation marks imminent.)


    But that ain't my main beef, oh no.

    Hell, A Brief History Of Time is an international bestseller, an' I ain't seen a dime from the f*cker — an' all because you never asked me to write it!!!

    The Da Vinci Code!

    A Tale of Two Cities!

      The thing is, he was so transparent about getting a free copy, so asking for a refund for the purchased one that I get the impression that he actually thinks it's ok/legit to get a free copy from someone other than me. Disturbing.

        OOPS! Sorry Suzanne! Didn't get it the first time! Would you mind giving me a refund on my post? I got the EXACT same post from a friend. Turns out, it was rubbish to begin with! Wait... wouldn't that make it worthy of TWO refunds?

      Screw that ... I have been in business for years. Guess what? I don't give a rat's ass what pirating scammers think about me or my business. I have had tons of real ... paying ... customers ... who ... are ... happy. I have always provided a lot of value with my products so my legit customers never feel ripped off. As I said, I have no intention of even answering him. If I do decide to answer him, I will simply email him this link to this post.

      I am semi-retired now and don't give much of a damn about business. I have always operated with a NO REFUNDS POLICY. Occasionally, depending on circumstances, I made an exception, but basically, if you can't physically mail it back to me and no longer own it, it's yours. So I haven't had a lot of problems with refunds and I normally fight every one of the few disputes I've had in Paypal and win the dispute.
