[THE_EPISTLE] [SPAM] Books

[Jim Smith]

Now this IS a good idea. I'd be up for it, if that is, it is allowed by
copyright laws. Can someone please check and advise?
Regards,
Jim Smith

I Was reading last night about parodies. Possibly this type of story could
be written by those budding writers in this group.

An example, could be the story from the viewpoint of a bumbling Mr. Peal ( a
takeoff on Mr. Teal). All names would be changed and behaviors exaggerated.
A group project like that would probably be realisitc and I don't see an
infrigement on rights. Now this is looking at it from the framework of USA
laws (I'm not a lawyer).

Sometimes parodies can actually increase sales of the original works. ==>
