<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 7622891, member: 21705&quot;]I&#039;ll just ask one question then. Was the author paid for his work or did the magazine just accept it and steal that work for their own financial interest? To me, the article is the author&#039;s and he is simply giving the magazine permission to share it unless it was expressly stated in writing that he was GIVING the magazine his ownership of the article.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps he did. Perhaps it is just industry standard. But I&#039;m not normally happy with the &quot;that&#039;s the way we&#039;ve always done it&quot; excuse. Everything you said makes more sense if the magazine produces the article.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess my response is colored by my aggravation with ANCESTRY.com blocking my access to my genealogy that I produced and permitted them to use in exchange for convenience. But I don&#039;t actively use it often enough to pay for search functions. So I had no problem when my access was limited to my own tree. But then they confiscated MY FAMILY HISTORY and demand monthly payments on the chance I want any access to it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
