Help Defend Preditors & Editors

[ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com]

Preditors & Editors is a tremendous resource for writers and other creative folks. It collates information about the good, the bad, and the ugly in this industry. I don't use the site frequently, but I do refer to it periodically, and I'd hate to lose it. Today when I went there, I found this notice:

Unfortunately, there are those who do not like P&E or its editor because we give out information that they would prefer remain hidden from writers. Usually, they slink away, but not this time. P&E is being sued and we are asking for donations to mount a legal defense in court. Please click on the link below and give if you can to help protect P&E so it can continue to defend writers as it has for the past eleven years.

There is a PayPal button for donations. I hope they're able to raise enough funds to meet their needs. I believe that poor performance should be addressed firmly in a rational manner; Preditors & Editors does that admirably. If you're too broke to toss something in the jar, you can help by spreading the word. They even give permission for people to copy the button code, though I'm not inclined to attempt that myself.

I wish they would say who is suing them and for what. I don't like the idea of just throwing money at them without knowing what's going on. Hopefully they are able to get some help. I wonder if something like EFF would help them?
