[Coco] RE: [Color Computer] The end of the Hot Coco saga?

I hit send too soon...!  Since they have no documentation showing that they
have exclusive rights to the author's content they cannot claim exclusive
rights.

They may have no legal feet to stand on - the US Copyright site states the
following:

TRANSFER OF COPYRIGHT

Any or all of the copyright owner's exclusive rights or any subdivision of
those rights may be transferred, but the transfer of exclusive rights is not
valid unless that transfer is in writing and signed by the owner of the
rights conveyed or such owner's duly authorized agent. Transfer of a right
on a nonexclusive basis does not require a written agreement.  [...]
Transfers of copyright are normally made by contract. The Copyright Office
does not have any forms for such transfers. The law does provide for the
recordation in the Copyright Office of transfers of copyright ownership.
Although recordation is not required to make a valid transfer between the
parties, it does provide certain legal advantages and may be required to
validate the transfer as against third parties. For information on
recordation of transfers and other documents related to copyright, request
Circular 12, "Recordation of Transfers and Other Documents."

Like I say - easier to get forgiveness than permission. So if the whole
collection gets posted on Gnutella, what are they going to do?

This makes me very sad, but I wasn't terribly surprised by her last
response.
