True,

But remember this is a legal distinction (aka illogical to us mere mortals < g >). If I contribute a chapter to a book or an article to a magazine, I generally retain copyright of the chapter or article (and give the publisher permission to use it, perhaps exclusively for a certain amount of time), but the publisher retains copyright in the book or magazine as a whole.

Cheers,

Andrew

>>To be fair to Michael, The way I read his copyright notice is that he owns the collection, but the individual components remain the property of the respective authors. According to Fishman (in either Software Development -- a Legal Guide or Copyright your software), there's a distinct difference between the collection and the components.

>>>Thanks... This may make it easier for folks to get the PDF versions of articles I have done. I am definitely not using Michel's File Links area due to his copyright crap. I never noticed it before, but I am not about to turn anything of mine over to him....
