(Revised June 3, 2022)
Douglas Dietrich published an image of a popular Asian cosplayer to Amazon claiming it is of his own mother who Dietrich claims was a vampire.
In fact, the image is owned (and likely copyrighted) by "YUEGENE FAY "
The book "Vamphyrology: The Vampire Research Paper" (Sky Books (November 17, 2020) is essentially a plagiarization of the work of an obscure Russian professor "Feodor Stepanovich Andreiev."
An ISBN search clearly shows the author as Peter Moon:
https://www.amazon.com/Vamphyrology-Vampire-Research-Douglas-Dietrich-ebook/dp/B08NTH15MN
Dietrich claims the lectures of the professor were witnessed by a "dissident graduate medical student" who took copious notes in shorthand and gave them to a Czech journalist who smuggled them to the CIA where they were translated and distributed to US and NATO commands in Europe.
Dietrich claims the material was later declassified and ordered to be destroyed in the 1970s. Dietrich claims that he "rescued" the document(s) after being assigned to destroy them using the Presidio Post Library incinerator.
The Post Library did not have a basement or an incinerator and my research proves he was never employed at the Presidio as a DOD Research Librarian.
"Between the years of 1969 through 1972, medical lectures were delivered by Professor Feodor Stepanovich Adreiev at the University of Kiev on the subject of an actual physiologically identified sub-species of homo sapiens referred to as vamphyr (plural and singular being the same). A dissident graduate medical student, alarmed and discouraged by his selection for impending assignment to the Arctic, vindictively slipped the collection to a sympathetic Czech journalist who passed it to a CIA case officer in Prague.
As novel and interesting as this them might be, this material was officially declared to be of no value to American security interests abroad. Subsequently re-routed to N.A.T.O.’s Supreme Allied Command Europe for dissemination, it was judged as equally irrelevant by said offices and relayed back to the United States as declassified. Eventually ordered to be destroyed in the late 1970’s at the San Francisco Presidio Military Base Library in the Mid-1980s, it was rescued by Douglas Dietrich who was assigned to burn it. He has since added his comments, interpretations and wisdom to the subject.
Although vamphyr do not conform to the stereotypical descriptions found in Hollywood, there are hauntingly similar aspects that echo the phantasmagorical characteristics ascribed to such creatures. It is an occult history which only sees the light of day in this publication."
If Douglas Dietrich did not have the permission of "Fay" to publish the image and associate it with the sale of a "book" on Amazon.com then Dietrich has committed fraud and a violation of copyright and "Fay" should submit a copyright complaint to Amazon.
Dietrich has done this on multiple occasions using the work of Yuegene Fay and claiming it as his own, but this is the first time he has associated an image with an item being sold. Dietrich is also deceptive in his advertisement and promotion of the book by claiming the image is his own property (an "enhanced" photograph of his own mother) and not the property of "Fay".
Dietrich has essentially stolen the image for his own purposes, very likely without the permission of "Fay". This is a violation of US Copyright law and possibly International Copyright Law.
"Yuegene Fay was born in Thailand on Monday, July 10, 1989 (Millennials Generation). She is 31 years old and is a Cancer. She also works as a costume and props maker, as well as a make-up artist. She started cosplaying in 2000. Yuegene Fay is a member of Richest Celebrities and Cosplayers."
"Yuegene Fay (born July 10, 1989) is famous for being a cosplayer. She currently resides in Thailand. An award-winning cosplayer who became an ambassador for Thai and Japanese cosplay in 2007, and a representative for World Cosplay Summit in 2009."
