Just when you thought it was safe to read Dan Brown again - Vanity Fair is running a cover story in their latest issue on the strange happenings in the legal dispute between Dan Brown/Random House and author Lewis Perdue. Among them, the bizarre communications of one 'Ahamedd Saaddodeen' who is said to have the same social security number as Dan Brown's wife Blythe. Random House responded to the copyright infringement story with:
The verdicts in favor of Dan Brown, in two United States Federal Courts and the British High Court of Justice, speak for themselves.
...the things that "speak for themselves" are the Random House legal shenanigans and their successful exploitation of loopholes that have subverted any measure of justice.
...The Vanity Fair piece could only begin to scratch the surface, but it shows what can happen when a reporter does some independent research rather than being spoon-fed by the Random House PR machine.
So, the saga begins (yet again!)...
