S/he is right that I can't speak for her, but I can give him/her the opportunity to speak for herself.Jennifer Kyrninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757665489093627393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19507589.post-81915523121624551572008-05-04T19:03:00.000-07:002008-05-04T19:03:00.000-07:00Hi brave little anonymous... you are missing the p...Hi brave little anonymous... you are missing the part where I didn't ask anyone to take down anything. <BR/><BR/>You may do whatever you want with your copyright. But that's YOUR choice. I didn't ask anyone to take down anything on behalf of anyone. <BR/><BR/>I simply pointed out that she was violating copyright if she didn't ask for the right to copy the articles. She admitted that she didn't ask for the right to copy anything. <BR/><BR/>Please, feel free to post links to those "media and print industry association" apologies.RedWritingHoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041884148793397823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19507589.post-77668899145267783452008-05-04T18:45:00.000-07:002008-05-04T18:45:00.000-07:00You are making the same mistake that media and pri...You are making the same mistake that media and print industry associations have (and have had to apologize for in many cases). You are assuming that you have the priviledge of speaking for the copyright holder. You don't and you are usurping their perogatives. I am a copyright holder myself and as far as I'm concerned anyone can reprint my work as they please as long as my name is attached to it. In fact I wish they would do so more often. Personally I would take grave offense at anyone asking to have my work taken down and claiming to represent or speak for me without my express permission to do so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19507589.post-655871168454766182008-05-04T18:02:00.000-07:002008-05-04T18:02:00.000-07:00No bunched undies here either. :-) Unfortunately, ...No bunched undies here either. :-) Unfortunately, that woman's response is much much more prevalent than otherwise. You handled her exactly as I would think you should. You're a writer, you wrote about it. Maybe one more person will read your post and change his/her mind. And if not, at least you got it off your chest. That's what works for me!

I know she only meant to spread great information and didn't know she was doing anything wrong. So I let her know she needed permission and to ask for it. I was happy to see she took down her posts while waiting for permission. There are reasonable people out there.....and then there are not.<BR/><BR/>Good to hear your undies are NOT bunched. Mine aren't either :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11617259549508716343noreply@blogger.com
