ckdSo there's this soi-disant literary agent (when you don't appear to have any sales, despite claiming to have been representing authors since 1984, I think you are probably not), Barbara Bauer. She's on Writer Beware's Twenty Worst Agencies list. So far, whatever; no different than the other 19, right?
Well, except for her multiple attempts to get sites closed down or her sending of legal threats for one! billion! dollars! for mentioning her name. Most recently, the Absolute Write discussion site disappeared rather suddenly, apparently due to their ISP rolling over for an abusive phone call that may have mentioned the DMCA.
There's a bunch of coverage around on this, including two posts from Miss Snark.
It's all about Barbara Bauer. Hmm, Google juice much?
