James L Clark, founder of
Black's Magic Group &
Street Magic Magazine has fired what he promises to be only the first attack in an ongoing campaign against those who pirate magic. Thanks to a post in the Genii Forums by Magician
Tim Ellis, we were made aware of the story by a headline stating, "
One exposure site feels the pain..." According to the entry
Magic Unlimited, After identifying a site that was purchasing Magic DVD's and other literature, and then making it freely available to its' members, Clark contacted the site owner and attempted to convince them to cease such activities. After being told where he could go with that idea, Clark contacted the local field office of the FBI in the state in which the site owner lived and the young man in question then received a visit from Bureau Agents. Since then, the site has closed and Clark has begun to identify other site with whom he will pursue similar steps. Nicely Done James!
