Cease and Desist order from the attorney representing Frank Bailey, Ken Morris, and Jeanne Devon.

Dear Sir:

I write on behalf of Ken Morris, Frank Bailey and Jeanne Devon (collectively, the “Copyright Owners”). The Copyright Owners are co-owners of the copyright in the unpublished manuscript entitled “Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of our Tumultuous Years” (the “Work”).

Between February 16, 2011 and February 19, 2011 you were the recipient of an unlawfully distributed version of the Work. The Copyright Owners kindly request that you do not violate US copyright law by distributing, coping, reproducing or displaying any portion of the Work. The Copyright Owners are currently assessing their legal position with regards to those parties that violated the copyright in the Work. In an effort to assist the Copyright Owners, we kindly request that you provide exact details as to how you obtained unlawfully distributed copies of the Work and which parties (including names and contact information) sent you the Work

This letter is not intended as, and may not be construed to be, a complete recitation of the facts or circumstances connected with this matter. Furthermore, any statement contained in this letter is not intended as, and may not be construed to be, a waiver or relinquishment of any of the Copyright Owners’ rights or remedies under law, all of which the Copyright Owners hereby expressly reserve.

Please feel free to contact me at (310) 776-0865 or via email at deansteinbeck@bsalawfirm.com to discuss this matter further.
Sincerely,
Dean M. Steinbeck

I knew this was on its way and personally I am glad that it has arrived.

This has been sent to ALL of us who, without authorization from the owners of the copyright, received this manuscript in our e-mail boxes on Friday.

I have already told you that I planned to comply with the wishes of the authors to NOT disseminate important facts from this manuscript, and except for letting you know that there is nothing relevant about babygate I have kept that word. (By the way I am not considered out of compliance with this Cease and Desist order.)

However as you know there are a number of news sites and blogs that have been putting out large portions of the manuscript without authorization, who WILL be facing some serious repercussions if they continue.

Look believe me when I say I completely understand the desire to read and discuss what is in this wonderful book-to-be, but ALL of us who want to get the truth about Sarah Palin out into the mainstream have to help protect this intellectual property. What is contained in these pages simply MUST make it into the bookstores.

So if you know of a blog, website, or forum that has post a portion or ALL of the manuscript please notify Mr. Steinbeck and let him know.

P.S. I will NOT be providing the name of the person who sent me the manuscript to this attorney.  In all other ways I will be compliant. But you know me, a source is always to be protected.
