this is as much to do with the process of publishing as authorial intent.
the royalties of two, and shortly three of my books, don't go to me anyway.
it goes with the territory, but...
chris's points about protecting authors etc are good ones, and i don't
discount them. and from a publishing pov, i respect the author's rights.
but this doesn't solve any problems, and text shouldn't be about ownership
in my view. and re the list - the rules and laws are clear. as 'listowner'
i follow them, but it doesn't mean i have to agree with them.
said in good faith.
best,
jk
