Re: [GWL]: OG - a new title for organic gardening

John,

Yes I do think that authors, photographers, and illustrators should be 
paid for their creative efforts for each time their work is used unless 
the materials were created while employed full time by the 
magazine/publisher.

It is unfortunate that management misjudgment frequently is the cause of 
business financial problems, but efforts to stem the red ink rarely 
involves firing the management that caused the problems.

Pencil pushers would fill a publication totally with reprinted articles 
if it resulted in a bonus in their pockets. Some managemeent types would 
rather trample on individual rights while company attorneys use legal 
maneuvers to create expensive obstacles to delay paying an individual 
fair payment for their services.

Many companies currently use part time employees or out source jobs to 
independent contractors because a full time employee requires the 
payment of overtime, and fringe benefits such as retirement, health 
care, vacation time, and sick pay.

If there are any ethical or moral reasons to justify nonpayment for 
creative works to individuals, living or dead, who own the rights to the 
materials, I can't think of them.
