Copyright was: Re -collecting info on e.o. injuries

[Guest guest]

First: In a previous job in (the publications department of the Society of

Nuclear Medicine) one of my responsibilities was to respond to " permission "

requests -- requests for permission to use/reuse copyrighted materials.

 

That said: Permission to use/reuse copyrighted materials must come from the

holder of the copyright. For example, articles in the Journal of Nuclear

Medicine were copyrighted to the Society, not the author. Thus, even the

author had to request permission to pass on their article. Even if they

wanted to place a copy on reserve in their college library, they needed

permission to do so.

 

Simply including the copyright information does not cover one from being

guilty of breaking copyright laws. That article, if copyrighted, is the

propriety property of the holder of the copyright. You need to have written

permission to make copies and distribute to others.

 

Hope that helps,

 

Tina

The article is copyright protected... " Copyright C Tony Burfield and Sylla

But Sylla herself is giving permission and common courtesy would ensure the

copyright tagline (and proper authorship) would continue forward. Would it

require the permission of Tony as well to be able to utilize Sylla's

invitation to spread the word?

Thanks for the additional clarification on the matter, Tina! There are articles

that I use as handouts within my infant massage classes that I had sought out

written permission (or paid for the ability to use x-number of copies) to use

them in the manner that I do. Same with articles and studies that I have in a

research binder that my clientele can thumb through.

 

If I recall, ones that are copyrighted to the publishing body state

©publishing body, rather than the author. When I submitted an article to a

web-zine I read their fine print carefully regarding it....their only

stipulation for cross-publishing was to have the subsequent publishings indicate

that it first appeared at that now defunct web-zine.

 

 

Thanks again! Appreciate the input!

My response: Yes, the copyright should state to whom the copyright belongs.

 

You make an excellent point regarding your own writing. When submitting your

work to a journal or magazine or e-zine for publication, be very careful

about who gets the copyright. If you give up the copyright, you should be

compensated for that lose of intellectual property. I recall a writing class

I took at a college in DC taught by a writer (not a professor, just an

adjunct) who actually bragged about sending his articles to multiple

magazines without advising those publications that another publication held

the copyright. Highly unethical, and illegal. My boss at SNM was a tigress

when it came to someone stealing copyrighted material from the JNM. Small

but vicious!
