Digital Database. What Does It Mean?[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Copyright Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by Jack Fay on September 11, 2002 at 00:29:05:
The following appears in my contract with a publisher: The Work is being sold as a book and as a CD-ROM. The Publisher (a professional association) has recently placed portions of the book on the "Members Only" section of its web site. The association's 30,000+ members have down-loadable access to my material. They may very well ask, "Why buy the book when I can get its contents free?" The association's annual dues are $100+. A benefit of membership is access to research materials, which my work happens to be. The association is using my materials to attract income without compensating me. If there's an attorney out there who believes I have a case and would be willing to take it on for a fifty/fifty split, please contact me. FYI, the contract was executed in Virginia.
