copyrights and posts on PublishAmerica board
PublishAMerica does not recognize that the person who posts on their boards owns the copyright to their posts. REad from the bottom up.
My response of May 19 to their response
This is a childish,insulting and condescending reply.
The copyright belongs to the owner of the work, unless
expressly transferred to another party. Your disclaimer
has no bearing on the copyright ownership issue. Your
disclaimer says you have permission. I am withdrawing
the permission. Your disclaimer does not say by posting
I am giving up ownership i.e. the copyright. Provide
documentation in writing that I transfered the ownership
of my writing/posts to PublishAmerica. Otherwise remove
those posts as you have the other posts of my mine. Do
this immediately.
(removed my address and phone number)
And this is the first time, anyone from PublishAmerica
has responded.
