Zeran

1.     What might you have done differently if you were in the position of artist Ken Zeran, mentioned in this chapter?

From what I read about Ken Zeran and the AOL t-shirt hoax, he did the right thing. He called AOL to get them to take down the bulletin about him selling t-shirts. He contacted the radio station that had people call him and explained. I felt although that was the right thing to do but he could have done something simpler like just change his number. That could have settled everything and he wouldn’t have had to waste money attempting to sue people and receive death threatening calls. The chapter says he depended on that number, but he could have sent his new number to the people he was associated with and explain why he had to change his number. That is what I would have done instead of letting the situation escalate into what it did.

  1. I thought the same thing several times... but he fought for his "right" to keep that number.
