FWIW Mark, thanks for your clear reply and I apologise for suggesting you did this on purpose out of malice. The time difference did indeed escape me, which Kate pointed out. I think this thread, to put some kind of positive spin on it, has at least helped focus what it is we do here and the levels to which we expose ourselves in posting what we do online anywhere.

As hstencil said, I printed one
1) for me
2) to read away from work
3) to test out the 'book publishing' service.

that was not what I was saying at all. I was saying fuck using cafepress, just print it up from your desk and hope your boss doesn't notice.

For the record: Mark, I hope you really weren't offended by anyone's reactions on here. I'm guessing most people were reacting more on abstract principle than any notion that you'd specifically wronged them.

And maybe Suzy's right: maybe it's just a writerly habit to be very concerned about copyright, well before it officially "matters."

Just for the official record, here’s how I’d personally want the ILX copyright issue to be explained and observed. ILX is a collective publication with many contributors --- not unlike a fiction anthology or a magical magazine that lets its writers maintain ownership of their copy. By posting to this collective publication, we give permission to the entity as a whole to publish our posts here and here only, in perpetuity. It’d also be nice if we could agree to something like this: we give ILX, this "collective publication," the authority to take action on any infringement of the rights to large chunks of its material --- meaning that if someone swipes whole threads, and posters object, Andrew or any other representative of the group could demand action on their behalf.

can't I get one too, Sir C III?

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 24 June 2004 16:09 (nineteen years ago) link

the thing is that im a writer, and i get a pretty good living out of it (not great, not really enough to surrive, but more then i should) and i dont give a flying fuck about copyright, in fact i think loving copy right is corrosive.

― anthony, Thursday, 24 June 2004 16:46 (nineteen years ago) link

So if we keep this one thread alive (but change the focus from topic to topic), can J0hn continue to post on it, as long as it's just this ONE thread? Come back, John...

Also, I love the idea that the random googlers who come on here ("Kanye I LUV YU I know you been thru hardtimes, me too I would do anything 4 u sexually or even as a frend") hold a copyright on their messages.

Also, I must confess that my first thought when I saw the thread originally was "Man, I hope I posted some funny shit in those threads!"

― Neb Reyob (Ben Boyer), Thursday, 24 June 2004 16:53 (nineteen years ago) link

if anything of mine is in these books, delete them forthwith, thanks. I'm not going to react as vehemently as J0hn but this is pretty lame.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Thursday, 24 June 2004 17:21 (nineteen years ago) link

actually it is TOTALLY FUCKING LAME and so is the COMPLETELY IDIOTIC idea that "copy right is corrosive."

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Thursday, 24 June 2004 17:31 (nineteen years ago) link

I think this has all been taken care of, Matos.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 24 June 2004 17:36 (nineteen years ago) link

565 posts in and it has to be said: this is the least funny Excelsior thread yet.

Seems like Matos is still trippin.

Won't someone lock this bitch?

RJG, does this mean we ain't getting our copies?

― Homosexual II, Thursday, 24 June 2004 17:48 (nineteen years ago) link

There's no reason to lock this thread beyond "The issue has been resolved".

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 24 June 2004 17:51 (nineteen years ago) link

I responded to something written about ten posts ago, not 564, if you'll bother looking.
