[Steppes] To the Steppes

[Hanson, Bryan]

I have not talked to anyone who would disagree that there needs to be a
change in how permissions are handled in the SCA, I was just pointing out
for the benefit of everyone on the list , that current SCA policy states
that a written permission is required.  Right or wrong, that is what the
current policy states.

I am not a copyright expert, but there periodically are discussions about
this issue on a couple of lists I am on.  If you are aware of case law about
email permission to print being upheld then I would love to see it.  Maybe
we can use this as ammunition to get the corporate policy changed.

Within the SCA.  I've been to court over emailed permissions already,
Chiara, and they have been upheld.  While i wouldn't want to suddenly upend
the SCA or anyone else's general and usual mode of business, and while i
certainly will comply if the Chronicler chooses to use material of mine,  i
was merely stating that emailed permissions are in common use at this time.
