Beyond Plutocracy is Free

You may read, download, copy, publish, distribute, and sell Beyond Plutocracy for profit. Or you may give it away free. But some restrictions and understandings apply. (See below.)

How to download Beyond Plutocracy

The Beyond Plutocracy book, hereafter simply Beyond, may be downloaded to your computer in either of two ways: as a PDF file (bpbook.pdf) or as a ZIP file (bpbook.zip). The PDF file contains only the book itself. The ZIP file contains a compressed copy of the entire Beyond web site including bpbook.pdf and the Beyond book presented as a collection of web pages.

If you prefer to download only the PDF file, simply mouse-click the bpbook.pdf link at the end of this paragraph. Beyond will be displayed as a PDF document within your web page browser program. Then simply select “File” in the menu system and then “Save As...”. Then save the PDF file to your computer in the folder and with the filename of your choice. Simply open the file to read Beyond at any time offline.

To download the the entire Beyond web site to your computer, click the bpbook.zip link following this paragraph. A dialog box will open that will allow you to save a copy of the bpbook.zip file on your computer’s hard disk. It is best to create a new, empty folder, perhaps with the name bpbook, and save the bpbook.zip file to it. When the download is complete, go to the folder and unzip the bpbook.zip file. Among the unzipped files, find and open the index.html file. Your computer’s web page browser program will display the Beyond book’s Home page. It is a good idea to add Beyond to your Favorites Items or Bookmarks for easy access later.

From time to time I correct a bit of Beyond’s grammar or punctuation or polish a paragraph or two. On rare occasions I make more significant changes. When I make changes to the book’s content or its web page presentation, I update its last revised date. If and when the copy you have downloaded to your computer falls out of date, you can update Beyond on your computer by simply deleting your current bpbook.pdf file and downloading the new one or deleting all the files that you currently have in your bpbook folder, leaving only the empty folder, and downloading the new bpbook.zip file to the folder and unzipping it.

How to create a Beyond Plutocracy web site autostart CD

Once you have downloaded the bpbook.zip file to your computer’s hard disk, you may share it with others as an email attachment or on disks. If you burn the bpbook.zip file and all of the files unzipped from it to the root folder of a new, blank CD, then you will create an autostart CD copy of Beyond. If the computer’s disk drive autostart is turned on, when the disk is inserted into the appropriate drive of a PC computer, it will start automatically and display Beyond’s Home page. If it does not start automatically, then manually open the index.html file on the disk.

Restrictions and understandings that apply to the free use of Beyond Plutocracy.

I, Roger Rothenberger, hereby grant all non- and for-profit businesses, groups, and individuals the non-exclusive right to read, download, copy, publish, distribute, and sell Beyond Plutocracy for profit or give away free. But the following restrictions and understandings apply:

• Beyond Plutocracy, hereafter simply Beyond, is a formally copyrighted work registered with the Library of Congress Copyright office. I am the sole owner of all of Beyond’s text, images, and figures. You may not present yourself as the owner or somehow as an “authorized,” “official,” or “exclusive” publisher or distributor of the book or any materials at its web site.

• I grant only the non-exclusive right to read, download, copy, publish, distribute, and sell or give away the Beyond book and other materials at its web site. Your publishing, distributing, and promotional activities with respect to Beyond cannot bar similar or other activities by others. While you may alter the general formatting of Beyond’s text, images, and diagrams to suit your publishing tastes and media requirements, you may not alter their content or meaning.

• You may publish 1) Beyond’s overview alone, 2) its introduction alone, 3) the book as a whole, or 4) its entire web site content. If you publish the book as a whole, you must include its table of contents, introduction, and all of its chapters, appendices, figures, and diagrams. Beyond’s overview, its introduction, or the book as a whole may be bundled with other works. You may use limited cited quotations from Beyond. You may create video, slide-show, television, radio, Internet, and other presentations or write reviews, synopses, and summaries that truly reflect and cite the author’s original work.

• Whenever Beyond is published or presented in whole or in part in any medium its title, subtitle, author’s name, web site address (www.beyondplutocracy.com), and the web site’s last revised date must be prominently included at the beginning of the published or presented work.

About Beyond Plutocracy revisions and my current and final views

To this day and probably until I am no longer able, I continue at times to revise and polish Beyond, sometimes making significant changes and other times merely correcting punctuation and grammar. Thus, the content of Beyond and its web site may change over time from the content copied and published at a given point in time. Each time I make a major or minor change I update the last revised date on Beyond’s web site Home page and on this page. 

Given the nature of the web and electronic media, anyone with sufficient skills may hack a web site, alter files, etc. falsifying an author’s or artist’s words and works. Each time that I add files to, delete files from, or alter any of the files constituting the Beyond book and its web pages I update the bpbook.zip file containing these files and burn a permanent copy of the files onto CD-R disks forming a historical record of what I have written over time. I consider this historical record in my physical possession to be the final authority as to what I have actually written and presented at the Beyond web site, not files presented by any other person no matter what the dates or content of the presented files may be. My current or final views expressed in Beyond concerning the analysis and redesign of the American government and society exist in the bpbook.zip file in my historical record possessing the most recent date.

Any efforts you make on behalf of Beyond Plutocracy, even for-profit efforts, will be linked to its web site upon request.
