Andrew Burt and Michael Capobianco should resign immediately
What is Andrew Burt going to do for an encore? Flay a puppy in front of a giant SFWA banner and post the video to YouTube? Seriously, this move to abuse the DMCA is about the worst publicity move he could have possibly come up with. SFWA is now in the public spotlight online. It's made del.icio.us/popular this morning already, and I expect it'll hit as an item on Digg before the day is over. SFWA needed publicity, but not of the "SFWA-- We're just like the MPAA and RIAA!" variety. I honestly can't think of a way he could piss off the internet better than to act like it's top two villains.
This is causing immeasurable harm to the reputation of all SF/F authors. Every SFWA member should be calling for the masterminds of this operation to resign, immediately, and take steps to reverse the damage this act has caused.
Or not. And I'll just watch SFWA become even more of a contemptible, irrelevant organization.
