Clarification

[elfs]

All of my stories are and have always been under the Creative Commons "Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs" license. I'm using Version 2 for all of my stories, but since I started publishing them the terms have been the same: you may reproduce my stories, but you may not sell the commercially, you may not alter, modify, or build on the text, and you must give attribution. I permit the variant "Attribution-NonCommericial-ShareAlike" for non-story-like-work (mostly to allow people to build role playing scenarios using Pendor-- popular, or so I'm told.).

I have never authorized commercial use of the Journal Entries, Aimee', or Bloody Beth. Anyone doing so is in violation of copyright law, and the current brouhaha is over a company that was a signatory to the Berne Convention.

I guess I could sue his butt. I don't know that it would be worth it. It's not like the site indicates he has assets.

Besides, click here and see how depressed I can get. Is it any wonder I'd rather move into print, and my attitudes towards piracy are changing?

Heh.

Actually, though, there's a difference between fanfic (even fanfic that the author hates) and _selling someone else's work_.

For the latter case, I prescribe a baseball bat and the perpetrators fingers, arms, and legs. Followed by a Teletubbies marathon now that they can't get away or turn the tv off.

No, not Teletubbies.
