>Q) How can you grab the copyright for the stuff I write? > >A) That's not what we're doing. Yes, Ron, I'm afraid it is exactly what you're doing: > The vanagon mailing list archives are copyright © 1994-1998, > with the author and the vanagon mailing list administrators > holding the copyright. You have asserted in public, in writing, that you own the copyright (along with the author) to everything ever posted to the Vanagon list. You have also asserted that you may sell copies of those messages, for your sole profit (not the author's), if you so please, without permission of the authors. Whether you intend to spend the money on the list server (or whatever) is irrelevant--if you spent the money on beer and cigarettes it would have no bearing on your claim to the rights to the work. >Some folks are really freaking out Some folks really are. --Ken 68 Westy, Admin --type2-- The Volkswagen Bus Mailing List |
