If he felt really bad he would post it free for two weeks, and then ask people to donate to his favorite charity…him! This is going to turn out just like the concert for Bangladesh Man!

KUDOS from me, man! I also read many of the comments and don't want to get into a discussion about negative option billing or dwell on the negative aspects of what happened here (no pun intended). Rather, I want to focus on the positive points! Yeah, Joel Comm is one of my favorite Internet Marketing "gurus" and I had not heard about this until just now, even though I belong to a few of his newsletters. Coz I have been working offline a lot lately and fell behind in my emails, so I actually got to yours before his in this case. I already knew Joel is a stand-up guy (imo), and yet this incident really solidified it for me. Like him or not, the fact that he is donating the additional profits in question to an established charity is proof that it's not just about the money to him and that it was most likely an honest mistake on his part. Thanks for a great post and for allowing me to share my opinion. Btw, I Dugg it and gave it a "thumbs-up" on StumbleUpon. Have the best, blest life! Best Regards, Michael Hey John,

Eventhough it is legal it just takes away the readers from him. As long as he admits that he made a mistake and the apology is accepted.
