I'm not implying he knows the law, just that he is the official voice of the HLP on the internet.

I talked to Brian Herbert on the phone about this issue a few times. I wanted to make an electronic copy of Dune for classroom purposes and he gave me the go-ahead. The next morning he called me back and told me that he was advised by his lawyer to not allow it. That's pretty much when I started getting fed up with the practices of the HLP. The old blame it on the lawyer excuse has been getting old.

That's pathetic. If it were my copywrite, I'd be giving away hardcovers if they wanted to use them in a classroom.

Funny, I thought KEVIN was the voice of the HLP on the Internet. He's the controlling member, after all.

And Brian DOES give away hardcovers, even really important ones, it seems.

(What an idiot.)

I wish, I have a few questions for him.

He must be waiting to get that one back to finally read it.

When I first saw that I wished I had it, I'd offer to trade it to him for the infamous outline.

Now I'd give it to him if he'd just stop writing Dune books.

Isn't that a code phrase for doing drugs? I'm pretty sure he gave it for some dope.

Drugs or booze. I think Bruce was the druggy and Brian the alky. I could be wrong, though.

I didn't reread the last paragraph of that when I linked to it. It's CHOICE:

If anyone has seen this family memento, I would appreciate your assistance in returning it to me. If this can be accomplished, I would be forever grateful, and would thereafter bestow upon you the official title of "Number One Dune Fan," along with other honors, and perhaps even a reasonable reward.

PERHAPS even a REASONABLE reward.

Stupid enough to loan out a personalized copy AND too cheap to make a definite reward offer for it.

I'd put the fucker on Ebay and let the HLP know it was there.

Anyway...trivia thread, right?

BONUS ROUND:

WHAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO HURT THE HLP?

(More to the point, how much longer will Byron let you keep linking to this site over there? )

Same as the Harko scum- as long as they think we're but a few rebels and pose no threat they'll continue the same way.
But we're closing in on all sides, they've lost the initiative and soon our Jihad will start in earnest! Muad'Dib! Muad'Dib! Muad'Dib!

I can see it from here...he used it as rolling paper...that one and The Notes...

Don't buy any of their books, and if you chance upon someone buying them, scream "FOR THE ORTHODOX HERBERTARIANS" and quickly set it alight, right there in the bookstore.

We're working on attacking the shipments to all major bookstores, and having a burning man event on Frank Herbert's birthday.

You should call it "BurningSon"

I'll bring the marshmallows.

If we can get Kevin and Brian to come, that'll take care of the weenies!

From a life safety and fire protection point of view, I must say, please don't start fires in book stores.

Thank you.

“Where they burn books, so too will they in the end burn human beings.”

Oh wait, that was the whole point?

No.

The Beast, Raban.

Umman Kudu. Replaced shortly after by Nefud.

No.

Liet Kynes.

One of those three guys who was told to deal with Jessica's body. I have no books handy.
