Here’s a lawsuit that goes far beyond the small claims of The People’s Court. Writer Damon Lloyd Goffe, from the Bronx, NY, is suing Oprah Winfrey for ONE TRILLION DOLLARS. Goffe is claiming that, “in April 2008 Oprah confessed to seizing original works of authorship,” as in Goffe’s draft of his book A Tome of Poetry, and published them on the internet under the title Pieces of My Soul. Conveniently, the website and the book are no longer live and can’t be found on the internet. Yep, this whole situation sounds shady.
Goffe claims that 650 million copies of the book were sold at $20 apiece, hence the trillion dollar figure. Um, 650 million is a lot of books. In fact, the only books known to have sold more than 500 million copies, ever, are The Bible, The Koran and China’s Little Red Book. We think Oprah is powerful, but putting her up there with Jesus and Allah might be pushing it. [Photo: GettyImages]

Why not sue her for work that other did and claiming that she did it.
I hope that she ahs to pay. Not everything in this world is free.

I don’t think Oprah would be that stupid as to impose her name on other peoples work.
We will see.
To doufusss: I don’t think you should demean someone else for their spelling etc. They may not have had the education they need.
Yours leaves something to be desired.
As for BND :Give Izundu a break. They may not be from this country.
Here we go agian, Another lawsuit. Looking at the estamated earnings I’d say you have a strong case of being a fool. Good luck with that!
“Is this STAR magazine?”
What will someone think up next?
Anything to make a buck…looks like Goffee is trying to “sell” his book by making this claim as a publicity stunt. My bet is he will drop the case once he feels his book has enough publicity.
