[Nettime-bold] Fw: Contentville.com and Publishing Rights

["Geneva J. Anderson" <geneva@iscweb.com>]

summarized from the online writing (OWL) list regarding
contentville.com. ( http://www.contentville.com/ )
does anyone on nettime have more information?

Apparently contentville is selling reprints of articles and dissertations
without? written permission from the authors.
here's the gist:

re: dissertations
Graduate schools used UMI (now Bell & Howell) for a dissertation
repository -- apparently a commonly-accepted, widely-followed practice. Bell
and Howell, in turn, made a licensing agreement with contentville.com. That
licensing agreement somehow allows contentville to sell dissertations. You
can reach Bell & Howell and the dissertation department by finding
information at http://www.umi.com or 1-800-521-0600. Contentville.com
feels that dissertation authors should take this up with Bell and Howell.

re: articles. You'll need to check directly with contentville and/or your
publisher for information. do a search on your name on contentville.com and
see if any of your articles show up for sale there.
