My HDC involvement kinda screwed me...

I know the title souds horrible, but this is merely inconvenient. It seems my penchant for coming here, posting my stories and then pimping the living shit out of them finally came back to bite me. I submitted Abuse to associated content last week, and as it turns out, having posted the story here counts as it being previously published, and goes against their policy of only publishing exclusive content.

Bummer.

So in the future, my pimping will be links to that site, so that when you decide to go read my stuff, i can actually make some money off of it ;)

I don't understand how posting here can be considered "published"?! I think they are trying to screw you.

At any rate, sorry that had to happen. :(

the fact that it is posted here means that they dont have the content exclusively, so rather than only going to their site to view it, which gets them advertising dollars, someone could come here to read it.

From their perspective, it would be like someone selling wal-mart brand products at their store for cheaper. People wouldnt need to go to wal mart to get the cheap stuff.

yup

lesson learned, my friend.

The entertainment world is all about controlling content and if it's spread around for free, no one will pay for it.

It's screwed me in a different way. I defended people that I thought were my friends only to find out they were a couple of bad people. I don't feel bad for defending friends, I just need to be wiser about who I choose as my friends. I admitted I was wrong, time and time again, and I still am forced to have salt rubbed into those wounds cuz some people here refuse to let go of the situation and realize that I not only admitted I was wrong, but was a victim as well. To those people who won't let it go (and you know who you are) I can only hope that the same thing happens to you so you know how much it hurts. Live and learn.
