Update from JHD about CTC4
Not to belittle or criticize the authors of CTC4, as I have learned much from CTC3. But if they are the same guys who authored CTC3, then keep in mind the FTC vs. BBCOA case when taking any advice from them on court or something that may wind up there.
"Not arguing" is a good start, but you will need to know and follow courtroom procedure should you wind up in court. In FTC vs. BBCOA, my resources and research reveals that these guys did not follow court procedure, which is why they lost. And until I see evidence that they now do, I have no choice but to believe that they still do not.
With that information now in hand, pause and consider what CTC4 can possibly offer?
- The previous version already has the documents needed to request validation of the debt and tender a good faith payment. Why would this be dated, have the laws changed?
- Even though the "copyright of (the common-law trademark)" is now deemed superfluous, I see no reason to republish one's copyright notice with the new one being marketed.
- I see no promise of a method by which to collect one cent of unauthorized use charges from the new trade-name notice.
Am I missing anything - does anyone see anything new offered? Because all I see is some new titles for slightly reworded documents and a lengthy sales pitch.
Once again, no insult intended against the marketers of this book. But I am a critical reader and realize that these gentlemen are running a business - so why should I buy a new automobile if my old one does the job?

If so, there are no absolutes, and the only logical conclusion is that reality, truth, and right and wrong are determined arbitrarily on a daily basis by those with the most power, guns, and money, and the rest of us can choose to run, fight, or be their slaves.
