Subject: parasites (aka publishers)
Richard mentions an incertainty concerning his ability to post electronic
copies of his articles which have been accepted. On several occasions in
the past year I have had discussion on this matter with various publisher
representatives, and while each of them initially asked that the acticles
in question not be published elsewhere, it was easy to get them to check,
and the result was always that unless I meant publishing them in *another
journal* that it really didn't make any difference to them, though it was
a condition that any self publishing not be before their publication date
which didn't seem too much of an objection.
They, like Bob Hollander, don't perceive much interest in the etext/email
methods of publishing and don't view it as a threat. Hopefully when time
has changed this opinion, precedent will already have been settled.
It also doesn't hurt to tell them you have already copyrighted materials.
Then their publication must included both their copyright statement, your
copyright statement, and whatever else.
Thank you for your interest,

Subject: Re: 4.1315 Copyright I: Publishers' Ownership... (1/171)
Bob says he has considered putting some of his works (re: Dante, I think)
on the Internet and asking a couple dollars from anyone who grabs a copy.
However, he says he won't do this because he is sure no one will want it.
I would like to propose an experimental posting of such works by authors,
scholars, etc. who have enough access to the Internet to receive messages
such as this one. I would be especially happy to post Bob's article/s on
the GUTNBERG server and to forward any income from this directly to Bob.
I get notes all the time from people who have received etexts posted from
the GUTNBERG server to all over the world, sometimes so far that email to
me cannot get here and they end up writing letters.
Etexts should be sent to this email address or disks to me at:
