| Sumario: | The article reports on a contract dispute between publisher Simon & Schuster and its authors, and the migration of that disagreement from the U.S. to Great Britain. Authors are angered over the publisher changing its standard author contract to give it copyright over works available only digitally or through print on demand (POD). Authors feel this undoes the longstanding provision whereby the rights to their work revert to them when the work goes out of print. |
