Copyright, Purchase Agreement, and Software License
Third Millennium Publishing is one of the first author-owned-and-operated virtual bookstores on
the INTERNET. As such, it is both an experiment and an exercise in faith. The products you
obtain here are a hybrid: part software, part literary work. As such, they are much more
easily duplicated than traditional forms of books. If people ignore our intellectual
property rights by freely duplicating either the electronic or paper versions of the books
they purchase here, then the experiment will fail and your reading choices will continue
to be restricted to what you can find in your local bookstore or airport magazine rack. To
prevent this, we ask that you take care not to violate these rights and that you abide by
the following purchase agreement and software license. If you do not wish to abide by
these terms, then please do not download any of the products for sale here at
Third Millennium Publishing.
In plain English, when you buy a book from Third Millennium Publishing, you purchase the right to
possess one (1) electronic version of the book and one (1) printed copy. You may also have
a second electronic copy, either for archive purposes or for your personal use on a second
computer.
If you become aware of unauthorized copies of any of
Mark Siegel's books in either
electronic or hardcopy form, we would appreciate learning the details. Please send
an email to MSkyranch@aol.com .

Third Millennium Publishing Purchasing Agreement and Software License:
The products purchased from Third Millennium Publishing are electronic copies of literary works
which are covered by United States copyright law, and international treaty. As such,
the electronic forms are also copyrighted materials. Because the technology

ensure that this material is not duplicated, distributed, or otherwise disseminated,
except as specifically stated in this purchasing agreement. For the purposes of this
agreement, the electronic file containing the literary work is considered a LICENSED
SOFTWARE PRODUCT that is leased rather than sold.
This Purchasing Agreement and Software License is a legal agreement between you (the
individual purchaser) and Third Millennium Publishing/Mark Siegel Publications. By
purchasing, downloading, installing, copying, printing, or otherwise using the SOFTWARE
PRODUCT, you agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. If you do not agree, you
must refrain from using the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, either in electronic or printed form.
