Reply #10: The publisher will probably sue anyone with a copy [View All]

[RetroLounge]

They own all copies and any copy out there is considered stolen material.

From "Shelf Awareness" newsletter...

We had hoped never to write again about O.J. Simpson and If I Did It, but if we didn't, we'd miss apparent confirmation of one of the many questionable aspects of a questionable project. Over the weekend, Simpson told the AP that he participated in the book and TV interview solely for personal profit, which he called "blood money," and said that the book was not a confession, which is how publisher Judith Regan had justified the work. The AP quoted him telling a Florida radio station, "I made it clear from the first day I met the writer that I wasn't involved. I said, 'I have nothing to confess.' "

A few copies of If I Did It are showing up for sale, but HarperCollins is working to keep them from being listed, saying that all titles are Harper property and will be considered stolen.
