Can help you in the States, my friend. Sotnas might be able to give you some EU advice.
Nice one , Chig' .
I thought it was Civil Law , Att' . I was a Claims Manager , so I know my way around it , or did do , somewhat .
Thing is , this is new territory for me . I've been in touch with the BBC - indeed , it was they whom convinced me to actually begin to write it - not just talk about it when Im bladdered .
However , if I send it off , sans Copyright , even if it is any good , I have absolutely no power over where it goes or what happens to it thereafter . They said to me that the Copyright aspect is the sole responsibility of the Author and they are entitled to pass the work on to 3rd parties , should they deem in necessary . As I say , Im probably tripping , and they bin it . That , I can handle , and just begin again . Me problem , is if they don't bin it , but keep it .
Hence , if I take the responsibilty early , I can ask for advice , send drafts , as I have to a couple already - uny about a 3rd of it , but theyll get the gist ; without the fear of , a , getting Skanked , or , b , someone butchering ones work .
Hope this expains it .
An' , nice one to all .
