Due to an unusually heavy past few weeks, we have been unable to post in the manner to which you (and we) have become accustomed. We promise to return to regular coverage as soon as possible.

Copycense™: Incisive IP.™

The editorial staff from Copycense wishes the best to our readers and their friends and families. We will resume our regularly scheduled coverage beginning Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2008.

No, we have not abandoned the site.

Regular Copycense readers surely have recognized that we have not published new material in a while. And we apologize for the inconvenience and lack of notice.

We are, however, in the process of redesigning Copycense from the ground up. This means new graphics, a new logo, a new design, new layout, new publication platform, and a new hosting provider. In short, the redesign is comprehensive. (The redesign is being led by Dan O’Brien Muzyka at Creative Web Media LLC in Portland, OR.)

Since the redesign is rather large, we have to delay new posts until we get everything tweaked and the domain names reset. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience.

Oddly, one of the strengths of this site — the comprehensive archive — is one of the issues that has taken the most time to manage. It is our intention that all the archive and archive URLs stay the same so our audience can continue to go refer back to our earlier stories. Once the redesign is finished, however, the entire archive — including stories, editorials, and “Copycense Clippings” from throughout the summer — will be complete.

In the meantime and in between time, please bear with us while we work on providing Copycense 2.0 to our audience. We will publish updates about the new site over the next few weeks.

Copycense is taking a publishing break over the holiday season. We will resume publishing on January 16, 2007.

The editorial staff at Copycense wishes our readers and their families a joyous holiday and a prosperous 2007.

As our regular readers know, CopyCense has been on break for most of this month. We will return soon, however, publishing again on Tuesday, September 5.

While we were away, we have picked up quite a few new subscribers. (Now that’s odd: we don’t write for most of the month, yet we gain readership. Hmmm.) To those new subscribers, we say “Welcome.” And as always, to our faithful subscribers and readers, we say thank you.

Back on Tuesday, Sept. 5.

We have just discovered that our domain name — copycense.com — has been masked or hijacked in order to send unauthorized spam. While we are not the source of this intrusion, we feel compelled to apologize for the inconvenience.

As of right now, we have discovered that the spam is coming from the following e-mail addresses:

• uncinct@copycense.com (No name)
• podolian@copycense.com (Name: Karin Hayes)
• lulling@copycense.com (Name: Merna Price)
• spitballer@copycense.com (Name: Margi Holmes)

To reiterate, no one at CopyCense or the copycense.com domain has sent email out to anyone during the months of July 2006 and August 2006. We are working with our domain registrar to resolve the situation.

Again, we regret the inconvenience this has caused, and are fervently working on resolving this issue. We ask your patience, and will publish an update as soon as we have new news.

The lazy, hazy days of summer are upon us, and we, too, have decided to find some shade. Due to vacation, CopyCense is taking a publication break for a few weeks commencing Monday, July 31.

Throughout August, we will have a guest writer occasionally post a new edition of CopyCense Clippings (beta) so that our readers can stay up to date on any really important stories. And as always, our archives will remain open to the public.

We will resume our normal publication schedule on Monday, August 28.
