Re: [nafex] Copyrights, online or pirate



I suggest that people interested in copyright ownership and reprints,
should consult with organizations that deal with these issues from the
perspective of the author. For example, the Garden Writers Association
of America.

http://www.GWAA.org/

There have been changes resulting from newspapers and magazine
publishers attempting to publish articles on the internet without
compensating the creator (author).

The intellectual ownership of the author is an important issue that
every contributor to NAFEX publications should have resolved with a
written agreement upon acceptance for publication.

Individuals who are employed by universities, Cooperative Extension
service, and federal agencies are generally required as part of their
employment to prepare articles for distribution to the public. These
articles are considered to be in the public domain and reprinting the
information is allowed with information of the publication and date in
which the article appeared. In ALL CASES, WITHOUT exception, credit must
be given to the author. Information used verbatim must be enclosed in
quotation marks, attributed to the author, and should NEVER be used out
of context as sometimes happens by commercial interests to sell
products.
