but I’m back now. I didn’t actually go anywhere, but life caught up with me and I found myself very very busy and something had to give. Work is busy, it’s a lot of work to raise a puppy, my moonlighting gig at McGill is a lot of work as well. So I took a break to recharge a bit and take care of other things. Now, back to the blog.
To kick thinks off, there’s an OS X conference on now and yesterday they had a Digital Rights panel that was blogged by Glenn Fleishman. One thing Glenn wrote points to something I have been looking at for ages: “Publishing is aggregation. People will re-emerge as publishers. Will Hollywood be the publishers of the future or will someone else?” I think that we’d all do very well to pay special attention to how copyright works for anthologies. It’s a double-edged sword – you can own a copyright on the collection itself even if you don’t own the rights to the component stories (though you must have permission).
