<nettime> Fw: Contentville.com and Publishing Rights |
summarized from the online writing (OWL) list regarding contentville.com. ( http://www.contentville.com/ ) does anyone on nettime have more information? Apparently contentville is selling reprints of articles and dissertations without? written permission from the authors. here's the gist: re: dissertations Graduate schools used UMI (now Bell & Howell) for a dissertation repository -- apparently a commonly-accepted, widely-followed practice. Bell and Howell, in turn, made a licensing agreement with contentville.com. That licensing agreement somehow allows contentville to sell dissertations. You can reach Bell & Howell and the dissertation department by finding information at http://www.umi.com or 1-800-521-0600. Contentville.com feels that dissertation authors should take this up with Bell and Howell. re: articles. You'll need to check directly with contentville and/or your publisher for information. do a search on your name on contentville.com and see if any of your articles show up for sale there. geneva anderson # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
