[Steppes] To the Steppes

[Michelle Hanson]

As regional Chronicler, I must also say that this is a fact.  We have to
protect the rights of those who choose to submit.  I understand that
some who are new to the office of chronicler may make a mistake (or two)
- but once that mistake has been pointed out, they should take immediate
steps to rectify that in future issues.  I myself made such an error
when I first stepped up as the Lindenwood chronicler.  We are all human
and as such errors are bound to happen.

However, all chroniclers who do not keep permissions to print in their
files can and will be removed from office if they do not correct the
error made as soon as possible.

This is not to say that anyone if our fair society would choose to
invoke his/her rights, but they could sue if they so chose.  By having
the permission to print in the files, they won't have a legal leg to
stand on.

Bear in mind also that it is possible to give an open-ended permission
to print with whatever caveats the author wants to include.

Have you read the Socety Publication Policy?  If not I recommend it.  Go
to
http://www.sca.org/officers/chronicler/ChronPolicy-200104.pdf.

The following is an excerpt from Section B.10.  (Incidentally local
chroniclers have to follow the same policy.)

---------------------
The Society operates under the ideals of chivalry. Respect for others'
property, including intellectual property, is
part of those ideals. The Kingdom Chronicler must ensure that
copyrighted
material is not used in the Kingdom
newsletter except in conformity with applicable copyright laws.
Authorization must be received in writing from
the copyright holder prior to publication, and the notice "Copyright ©
[date

must accompany the copyrighted material.

...

Chroniclers who persist in reproducing copyrighted material without
permission will be removed from office.

Um, Alasdair?  Email permissions are given and received all the time.
I've
got about twenty in both directions in my files as we speak.
