Im agree with you Aaron, but i bought his books on 14 september 2009, and an other book on 14 october 2009. If you want i can send you my Paypal receipts to prove it. I never received the books. It is a swindle ! nothing else ... And why sell books when nobody to occupies his website? Even if he is ill, it is not a reason (he has to stop selling ebooks) Thank's
Report him to PayPal. Depending on the terms of his copyrights, it may not be legal for someone else to send you a copy of his works. And if he is not responding to your personal emails, it is unlikely that posting on this list is going to help any further.
By posting regarding this situation, possibly it will help others from being swindled. I paid for the "Firewall Book", and as stated, did receive a few PDF's, but that's it, no paper copy. Going through PayPal is is waste of time, as their time limits have been exceeded many times over (my purchase was Feb 13, 2009) for filing a complaint, unless I'm mistaken. When someone is ripping others off left and right, who gives a hang about copyrights ? Were I not honest, I surely wouldn't; I'd get what I paid for any way I could. Alas, I guess I just lost out, as it's evident from the site that business is in full swing and payment is being accepted by 2 methods. I guess I should have also noted that Artymiak was a Non-verified US vendor on PayPal. Live and learn I guess, at times the very hard way. I really expected much more from Artymiak.
Stop bitching and think. 1.) You do not have a name. You only have an email address. 2.) If your email address really indicates your location, then you are on a tiny island *EAST* of Madagascar in the Indian ocean. 3.) Although the island or Reunion is technically part of France, and hence technically part of the EU, most people believe GMT +0400 is outside of the EU. To put it bluntly, this is the very first time I have *EVER* seen the ".re" ccTLD being used. Jacek is a good guy, but considering the above, most people selling goods on the Internet would expect a scam. Your order probably got caught up by automated scam filters in the order processing system (e.g. an EU credit card being used with a seemingly non-EU shipping address). This is unfortunate, but for you, it's a fact of life. --
Hi, I'm not agree with you. Reunion Island is a DOM(overseas department), and we belong to European Union. We speek French, and pay in Euro. On Mon, 15 Feb 2010 21:03:29 -0800, "J.C. Roberts"
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've had a PayPal account for over 10 years, and in that time I have purchased electronic media, like *.pdf files, which is what Jacek is selling, quite a few times. The payment arrives in the seller's PayPal account, and after a few days (as opposed to a few months, as appears to be the case in this situation) there is zero chance of the funds being unavailable to the seller. Usually, professional sellers of electronic media have the process automated, sending an email to the purchaser, containing the URL for download, and a unique login key/password, which is good for a limited amount of time. Jacek may be a good guy, and suspecting a scam is a sensible strategy, but a responsible seller, who had received payment, would be wise to see that his/her paying customers were well taken care of. I sell artwork on my dotcom domain, which is a physical entity, as opposed to electronic media, and which requires shipping, as opposed to electronic delivery. I receive both genuine and scam requests for purchase. It's pretty easy to tell one from the other. - -- - -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ http://robertwittig.net/ http://robertwittig.org/ .

I have been waiting too. But I have heard people speak of Jacek being ill a few times over the years, to the point that his publications get delayed. Leading me to think that he has something more serious than a cold. I'm concerned about his health first and foremost. I'm looking forward to the book but I don't want it hurried if the cost is his health. Shane
I agree that it is not good to pay and not receive anything. So you dispute the deal via the proper channels to get your stuff or your money back. Breaking copyright law to get your goods is not the right way. -Otto
I agree. But for the record, I personally never suggested or supported the idea that copyright infringement is a solution to this problem. In fact, I have worked in landmark copyright cases for one of the Worlds most successful IP lawyers (and continue to do so). Including tendering evidence to court as a witness and being cross examined. So for many reasons, I wouldn't dare. Shane
"IP lawyers", eh? Exactly what is this "IP" you speak of? (SCNR.) regards, --ropers
