cat;
After I read Johannes Gårdbäck's post about the possible misuse of
Dr. Kioni's photo at
www.lulu.com/content/866230
<
http://www.lulu.com/content/866230> , I thought I would take a look at
Ms. McDonald's materials. Sure enough, I am disappointed to say that
I found her `Hoodoo Power & Hoodoo Spells' and `Hoodoo
Candle Magic & Conjurations' E-books to be almost, if not, direct
text taken from your Hoodoo in Theory and Practice pages.
Her materials include direct and lengthy quotes from you and do not site
you or give credit to you or your pages. She is selling these materials
via
www.lulu.com <
http://www.lulu.com/> for $3.74 each and knowing how
important an issue this is, not only to you, but in general I wished to
inform you immediately of the situation
I got copies of the E-books mentioned above that I purchased from the
site this afternoon and I'll will gladly email you copies of them if you
want to look them over without having to give money to someone who has
already stolen from you just so you can read you own work. I didn't
include them here because of the limitations of sending big files via
Yahoo.
If you need them please don't hesitate to get hold of me at my home
email which is
coyote97@verizon.net <mailto:
coyote97@verizon.net> .
Unhappily the bearer of bad news,
Charles Porterfield

(Thank you Charles. I too purchased copies of the books and found them to be copyright infringements of my works. Not only that, the name "Jacquelin McDonald" is a pseudonym that is being used in a VAST copyright infrinement scam at Lulu! The following is what i have found by checking through the materials via google. It's astounding -- and huge -- and i am not the only victim. The following is my letter to Lulu. Y'll friendly pitbulls please feel free to bombard them with letters, too! --cat)
Subject: Copyright Infringement at Lulu

At Lulu, the address of the supposed hoodoo author Jacqueline McDonald, is given at
http://stores.lulu.com/wiccanuniverse
as
Jacqueline McDonald
6316 Beloit Avenue
Florida, United States
witchesplanet@gmail.com
Notice that the CITY is missing from this address. However, a quick check with google maps discloses
that this street name and number combination occurs in only ONE city in Florida, namely Keystone
Heights, a small ton to the northwest of Gainesville, Florida. Thus we can derive the full name and address of "Jacqueline McDonald":
Jacqueline McDonald
6316 Beloit Avenue
Keystone Heights
FL 32656
However, when researching tax records for this address, what turns up is not "Jacqueline McDonald,"
but rather two other names, Jeannie M. Northrup and Summer G. Raynes -- both of whom are also

Now, knowing that at least TWO of the books by these three authors are plagiarized from my writings,
and considering that here are dozens more in the same subject-line of magical apells that are
probably also copyight infringements, i am asking that i be supplied with FREE copies of each of
these books to examine. It is an unfair burden for me to have to pay for downloads in order to
examine the books for copyright infrinegement. Having paid for two of them already and found
infringements in both -- and not having yet received recompense for my purchases or royalties due --
i think it behooves Lulu to contact me a once so that we can conduct a speedy resolution of this
matter.
I require that the following action be taken within 24 hours:
1) ALL royalties that the infringer has been paid by purchasers are to be deducted from her account
and paid to me. This must include also the FULL TOTAL that i paid for the downloads of my own
writings, as well as all royalties paid to Jacqueline McDonald by myself and anyone.
2) Immediate removal of the infringing pages from Lulu.
3) A promise that this author or authors, Jacqueline McDonald aka Jeannie Northrup aka Summer Raynes
will be banned from Lulu for copyright infrinegement abuse and will not be permitted to abuse Lulu
or to victimize other authors ever again.
If i have not heard from a Lulu agent or representative by the end of my business day on Monday,
October 1st, i will put this matter in the hands of my lawyer and will also publicize it via the
internet.
I am outraged and infuriated. The fact that Lulu lists no contact telephone number and only allows
an "abuse" form to be submitted via web-based email is disturbing, so i posting this as a comment to
the McDonald pages in question and i am distibuting it through USENET and to the students of my
Hoodoo Rootwork Correspondence Course.
For speediest resolution of this matter, you may telephone me at my office:
