\"poetic<\/a>On January 30, 2015, April Brown, released on YouTube a colorful, humorous, and rather entertaining book trailer for her book, “Poetic Justice”.\u00a0 However, under the color, animation, and humor lies a very real and serious message.<\/p>\n

Normally, I would not write a blog post over an ordinary book trailer but April, in her own inimitable style, has created a very special book trailer.\u00a0 It is short, informative, easy to understand, and encapsulates April’s (and others’) experience of innocently sharing Linda Ellis’ Dash Poem.<\/p>\n

I stand by April’s message that Ellis’ viral Dash Poem has a dark, ugly, and financially catastrophic consequence to anyone who foolishly shares that poem in print within a newsletter, book, or a website.<\/p>\n

I also endorse April’s advice in the video:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do take down the Dash Poem.<\/li>\n
  2. Do not respond to any demands for payment.<\/li>\n
  3. Do not be afraid. (I would also add another sentence to this point, “Get Educated”)<\/li>\n
  4. Do tell the world.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Do yourself a favor. Watch the video. Get educated. And do share this video. I promise you April will not send you any letters demanding $7,500. In fact, she will be happy if you shared the video FREELY.<\/p>\n
