Copyright Infringement and Me

[illadore]

The tl;dr version of this post: My 2005 Ice Dragon entry, called "A Tale of Two Tarts" was apparently printed without my knowledge or permission in a magazine and I am apparently the victim of copyright infringement

The scribe who had her work lifted from a website and used on a commercially made Tshirt received a settlement.

I would suggest contacting her to find out who helped her.

I stumbled onto this via a friend of a friend ... this will make a lovely Facebook update if you don't mind. These people need a spanking really really badly.

Again, this is a free country and you have a right to free speech. Assuming, you know, you live in the U.S. :)

Seriously, what does free speech have to do with this?

Just came across this from Twitter and astonished. Please do keep us informed of how you progress.

I'm appalled!

Monica, as a member of the media, I would like to apologise unreservedly for the inappropriate response by the editor of Cooks Source. Such a response is totally unacceptable, and as someone who generates material, copyright, regardless of medium, is something close to my heart.

I hope that Cooks Source will apologise again (without any strings attached) and give a donation to Columbia School of Journalism.

Regards,
