I just got a simple question.

I think that book
"Artist's & Graphic Designer's Market"
is a very good book. I buy it for people
I know...I never used it myself...but I was considering using
it for some new ventures of mine....

It's got 656 pages...

You know, it's got Contact names and addresses, phone numbers, web and email addresses, etc..

Right now, I'm only interested in the email addresses, ...ALL of the email addresses!
Simply because my new ventures covers *all* categories.

So, my question is, is there an electronic version of this book, maybe a pdf version or maybe,
is the contact names and addresses available on disk, or is the list sold somewhere?


You can imagine, going through each 656 pages and writing down the email addresses is
simply too much. And the only solution I could come up with right now is to simply
buy the book, tear out all the pages, and feed scan it to a scanner and extract the
information from the scan using OCR, email address and contact names extracting software, etc..
But I was hoping I wouldn't have to go through all that, I'm sure the publishers have it on
disk somewhere, maybe somebody out there knows where I can get the list on file.

Thanx,

Helen

I bought it a few times before the web and email usage were household
staples. Never used it. I could see how the material in it could
become outdated very quickly in some cases.

Good luck using it. Let us know how it goes.

The new edition 2007 is out, I understand email
addresses can get outdated in some casess but the web addressses
usally don't, and I can easily extract email addresses from the
web page addresses listed...

I still am looking for an e-book version or something containg a
electronic list.

I guess it doesn't exist.

I'm going to have to start tearing out pages....


or maybe use those guys who do it for money

Thanx anyway,

......thinking about it for a while, I could understand Why the publishers of
"Artist's & Graphic Designer's Market 2007 edition" wouldn't put out a list
of all their contact information listed in the book on disk because otherwise
they wouldn't have a book to publish the next year! Everyone would be selling
their own directories. But that is not my problem is it?

I just want my own compiled list I can use just like everyone else...

I already threw out the idea of tearing out all the pages and scanning it, but
my last idea....getting the "whole entire list" for only a dollar or less is not
something I might want to get into...it requires a method that might be a
little controversial...

but if you feel it is irresponsible for me to post that method I'll refrain from doing so
if the majority is behind you....
otherwise, I'll extend tonights deadline to this weekend.

I have noticed a new trend...

You know those e-books (digital products) people
sell on the internet, they ask for
maybe 50, 60, 90 dollars for them
sometimes.

They look something like this:

Well, I don't know how much it cost to
use the services of a book scanning business
http://www.scandexsystems.com/BookScanning2.html
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=scan+books


But the trend I'm noticeing on the internet is that
people are getting together on private forums
and one person buys a "digital product"
and sends a copy of it to all it's members.

So if a "digital product" cost one hundred dollars,
and they have a 100 members, each member pays only a dollar.

If by some stretch your intentions aren't to spam this group, you seem

don't you go on and do it? There's no reason to involve us and it's of
no interest to us.

Drew, Have you heard the expression
"People who live in glass houses should not throw stones"?

Now, I look at your email address and it reads,

"who is that masked man"
Drew <whoisthatmaskedman@hotmail.com>

Now, in Hollywood, that can be considered
"copyright infringement", or worse yet
"trademark infringement"!

Since you're an artist, you probably couldn't put your email address
on a book cover, poster, even a t-shirt because you would be infringing on
The Lone Ranger trademark...

So you think you can post it on the Internet because there is such a
gray area between copyright laws on Earth and the Internet. It's the reason why
"copyright infringement" is so rampant on the Internet...

But I'm guessing you figure you can get a way with it...

And since you live in a glass house, I wouldn't answer the door either.

In reference to your email address in 1982 a movie was made by Mike
Filene and Ken Yontz entitled, you guessed it "The Starmaker".
Yes in Hollywood *you* could be considered in violation of all of the above.
And you're correct, I wouldn't. I have a more valid address.

There's nothing to get away with. Since I've got your attention though
I'll give you a little education. Don't worry, I'll go slow for you.

1. The phrase used in the Lone Ranger is "Who WAS that masked man?" Note
the difference between past and present tense.

2. The names/phrases "Lone Ranger", "Tonto", and "Hi-Ho Silver. Away!"
are surely copyrighted. A quote from a script most likely has expired
past the 7 year copyright.

3. By far the most damning to your position: I am in no way depriving
anyone of deserved income from their labors. You and your ilk are with
your little "book club". Let me guess who would hear from lawyers first.
You or me?


Heed your own advice.

Drew? Is that past tense for Draw?


I can imagine what Your *valid* email address must be like,

"Houston, weeeeeeee have a problem@hotmail.com"

What we've had here is failure to communicate@hotmail.com

It's a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the knishes@hotmail.com.

Not so much by himself these days. Try that with our work product and you
WILL be talking to our lawyer. It does happen but not very often and NEVER
more than once with the same offender.

But don't take my word for it:

Or better yet do what you espouse and come back to report the result (BTW
it's called a judgment order and with regards to copyright cases usually
issued on summery-- AKA no trial).
