[Coco] [Color Computer] More news on Hot Coco

[Michael Wayne Harwood]

Here's the latest word form IDG publishing (see thread below).  I think they
are starting to get weary of me pestering them, but this seems like a fairly
positive step.  If I we can get one author who published an article in Hot
Coco we can pursue this a bit and see where it lands.  Does anyone have
contact with anyone who might have published something in Hot Coco??  
 
I would love to see Richard Ramella's "Elmer's Arcade" articles
republished...
 
Regards,
Michael Harwood

 Miriam, 
  
Can I assume then that the copyright of those issues of the magazine listed
on the US copyright site that are not marked with CW Communications is still
owned by Wayne Green?  There are several issues that do not have CR
Communications listed. 
  
My understanding of the issues surrounding this is that you do not know what
licensing agreement is in force with the original authors.  Would you be
willing to consider this matter further if I was able to contact the
original author and obtain their permission to re-publish their articles? 
  
Regards, 
Michael Harwood

Michael, 

If you look carefully at the Hot CoCo copyrights, there is an assignment to
CW Communications, Inc., IDG's wholly owned subsidiary. 

Thank you.

Best regards,

Miriam

Miriam, 
 
I understand - thank you.  I have one last question.  I looked up the
copyright status on the US copyright site and it appears that a large number
of magazines are listed as being under the copyright of Wayne Green, Inc.  I
know that Wayne sold the magazine to IDG years ago, but the US copyright
office does not seem to be aware of a change in copyright owner.  Is their
information incorrect? 
 
Regards, 
Michael Harwood

Michael, 

We cannot give permission because we do not know what rights we obtained
from the author when we first published.   

Sorry.

Best regards,

Miriam
