USA Africa Dialogue Series - Dear Chidi - re obtaining "a written permission" from you

Dear Chidi,

I've been meaning to write to you about this matter for some time now,
and hopefully I'm asking a question that may have crossed our people's
minds as well, so, some further clarity on the matter please:

In your last posting you suggested that "Men and Women postulate and
sometimes label such postulations as "the words of God". - and at the
bottom of that page you caution (hopefully, not on God's authority)
that "Reproductions in part or in whole, in whatever forms, of
ChidiAnthonyOparaPoetry, except for non-profit information and
education purposes, without a written permission from the author is
not allowed. "

Of course even assuming that the Almighty writes books or has written
one, I have difficulty imagining the Almighty stipulating a similar
request " Reproduction/s of My Book in part or in whole, without a
written permission from the author is not allowed." - which does not
say much about your own relative status....

Anyway, how immediate would your granting such a request be?

Since I don't see any copywriter symbol © at the bottom of your page
it's the "is not allowed" that I'm not so sure about. Is there some
kind of legal backing for your "is not allowed" ? Would quoting you
for purposes other than the non-profitable and/or educational without
your prior consent be a legal infringement of your intellectual
property rights?

And what could be the likely penalty or consequence's of mis-"quoting"
you ( without your permission) ?

Kind Regards,

Awaiting enlightenment,

Cornelius
