Hi all!
We've been discussing both Copyright and Publishing Rights of Internet boards recently and I wanted to let everyone know that Peter aka Imhotep will be meeting with an Intellectual Property/Copyright Attorney this coming Tuesday, Nov 4, 2003, on our behalf. This is exciting! While a member at other boards, these topics rarely ever surfaced in my case. All three boards were 'Public' and it was assumed that anything we post is copyright protected. For a thorough definition on 'What is a Copyright?' and 'Copyright on the Internet' PLEASE visit this link: http://whatiscopyright.org/ The Mentors and I have been preparing a list of questions, some basic and some more advanced for discussion. Here are some of the items: 1. If a work is posted on the internet, in any forum at all, does it still retain the author's right to copyright. or is it regarded as free share. 2. By posting at MM, do I, the poet, grant MM my First Publication rights? Or, is First Publication Rights a negotiable concept, via each publisher's opinion? 3. When a poem is posted on a critique site, is it by copyright standings, workshopped and therefore not considered published? Or does there need to be a delete period of that said thread in order to hold full copyright and for it to be considered as "not published?" 4. Will posting in a critique forum (or otherwise) at MM, immediately render a work 'unpublishable' by certain publishers? 5. Does the distinction between 'public' forum and 'private' forum postings make a difference in the eyes of a publisher? Are they BOTH held to the same standard view of 'published' by virtue of the posting on the Web itself? We will update everyone after the meeting next week. This may well determine the outcome of going 'Private' or adding 'private forums' to MM. Regards! Mosaic Musings Staff ·······  ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.

Collaboration feeds innovation. In the spirit of workshopping, please revisit those threads you've critiqued to see if the author has incorporated your ideas, or requests further feedback from you. In addition, reciprocate with those who've responded to you in kind.

would we be able to just add the line
"all rights reserved (insert your name here) as an unpublished work" in our signature? or would it have to be a line directly under the piece? |
