DMCA takedown notice...never heard of such a thing until today. Best to go Google it as I did and read up on this little gem of a copyright infringement law. My rant regarding my former web master and web host offering my work for sale on Kobo? I simply went to Kobo, reported the infringement and the material was taken down. Simple. I called it a day and walked away. However I have been a lot more vigilant in looking for further infringements as I knew my years of my work was still in my former webmasters possession. Keep the work to himself and it was all good. Sort of.
During a trolling session this afternoon I revisited his site and was floored by a recent update he posted. DMCA takedown notice? WTF? Seems I have a guardian angel. An angel that knows enough about me and Uncle M Productions (not hard to do really) that would enable said angel to issue a DMCA takedown notice on my behalf. Long and short of it....my former host has had all access to my material blocked. He lost it all. Karma...is a beetch sometimes.

Where Have You Been?
Good question. Unfortunately I am still not out of the woods yet with this cancer thing. I'm loath to make my personal health woes public but I let that pussy cat out of the bag awhile ago. Good news is the radiation therapy got the vast majority of a mass the size of a mans forefinger. Shows my body responds positively to treatment. Bad news is there was a bit of a tumour left over and they found more cancer. This is cancer the "magical" scanning machine apparently missed or the people reading the original scan were not paying enough attention to detail. I'm going with the latter. Not to worry, this all has been caught early enough t
Bucket List ~ Bondage Of Course
Enough of this cancer talk....let's get onto something a lot more positive and fun shall we. Over the years I have gotten to know quite a few of you though our connection here on dA. A lot of good natured and fun bantering but honest and sincere at the same time. The chances of me ever meeting up with most or any of the lovelies for some bondage fun is remote at best. I get that. However, that doesn't stop me from making a bucket list does it? I'm going to share, one bucket item (NO, I don't consider anybody an "item" but this is the best descriptive word that I can come up with at the moment) my little fantasy "bondage play" scene with
Still Alive And Kicking
Way past time for a bit of an update on myself. On a positive note, I'm not only still very much alive and kicking but on the mend albeit slowly. I successful completed my 6 weeks of treatment which was 6 weeks ago now. The thing with radiation therapy is it's accumulative and the body is still radiating itself 6 weeks after the last radiation treatment. Think of being under a heat lamp for a period of time then shutting off the lamp. What ever is under that lamp keeps on cooking. My type of cancer was painless so I was bloody lucky to have noticed something was amiss early and acted on it. My troubles or issues is dealing with all the
A Much Needed Update
It's certainly been awhile since I have posted anything of significance here on dA and not without reason. I'm loath to post bad or negative news especially when the news is of a personal nature. Double if the news concerns a serious health issue. After much thought I am going to make an exception for my dA followers only. Late January I was diagnosed with cancer of an unknown origin. Picture a fire with an unknown source. Fire fighters can control the fire and eventually put it out but dammit where did it start and what caused it? Kind of important information to have if you want to ensure the fire doesn't flare up again somewhere els

Uncle, if you reported a single infringement on Kobo, and they operate in an area where DMCA is enforced (it's not worldwide), then they are REQUIRED to check the content mentioned in the infringement report and if he can't prove that he has rights to publish then they are required to take down the content. So, by making that one report, you became your "guardian angel". Some companies are really good about swift and decisive review of content. Some, not so much... some will just block without review at all, which can be a real nightmare if you ARE the legal owner of material, and someone is trying to hurt you. I'm glad this worked out in your favor
