It's come to our attention that entire issues of Diggers and Drillers and the Australian Small Cap Investigator have been reposted on various on-line forums in Australia. While it's nice to have other people circulate your work, it is not nice for them to give it away for free when other people have paid for it. It's not only not nice to republish copyrighted material, it's illegal.

Of course it's very difficult to prevent people from violating copyright in the digital world. So we will rely on an old-fashioned technique: shame. If you've published copyrighted material in the past, please don't do it in the future. We'll let bygones be bygones. However, if we find some readers persist in posting copyrighted material, we'll investigate and do what we have to do to stop it.

Mind you, it's not our favourite thing to do. But the research and production costs of our advisory services are not inconsiderable. Thousands of readers obtain these reports honestly by paying for them. If a few others give them away, it's unethical, illegal, and bad for business. We'd rather not get lawyers involved. So just do the right thing and cease posting copyrighted material.

You're free, by the way, to send Daily Reckoning and Money Morning to anyone you like (and even people you don't like).

    Yeah, it sucks. I've seen instances where people republish articles, videos, photos and even comments as if they are their own. Some say that all knowledge should be free, but I bet they never thought up something on their own or created anything like a book from scratch. No shame some people.

    It's a losing battle, but I wish you luck. Of course, down the track, you and everyone else who publishes original work will have to look at alternative ways to make the business model work, because plagiarism is unstoppable.

    Teachers have software to check for plagarism. It's easy and reasoably effective.

    Charging for your reports is of course central to your business and good luck to you, but I cant see how republishing old secondhand investment advice can hurt you in what is a time critical business. It would be very much a case of 'yesterdays news'. Besides, I thought you believed in freedom.

    Suggest you dispense with the electronic .pdf version

    Just mail it to us

    BTW This is a bit rich from you guys, after I see Tony Schwensen has the GOLD D&D report on globalspeculator.com.au

    YOU GUYS MUST HAVE BEEN INVOLVED

    Not only that, you have Tony do the monthly issue on this last edition, with him presenting half the issue using information WHICH IS FREE ON HIS WEBSITE

    Additionally, when I started my subs late last year, you guys put up the WHOLE LIST of recommendations for Small Cap Investigator

    Give us a bit of a break here

    Quid pro quo

    I wish to cancel my 30 day trial subscription to Diggers and Drillers and receive a refund. Please advise how to go about doing this as I can not find a phone number to ring.
    Thank you.

    “Why a mining executive told me to F*** Off
    in front of a whole room of investors”
    Dr. Alex Cowie doesn’t have the most popular of jobs. At least – not inside the mining industry. For his readers, it’s another matter entirely.

    As Laurence says: “I have never bought a stock and got a 100% return before … thanks for providing the information for me to have that experience – and all within two months too!”

    Right now Alex has unearthed six “must buy” resource stocks for the year ahead. His method for finding them might annoy a few people in the industry… but it could help make a lot of money in 2012 too.
