Previous Politech message: "IEEE says authors must certify papers to be DMCA-violation-free" http://www.politechbot.com/p-03393.html --- Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2002 14:47:37 -0700 To: declan@well.com, "David J. Farber" <farber@cis.upenn.edu> From: Steven Cherry <s.cherry@ieee.org> Subject: Re: FC: IEEE says authors must certify papers to be DMCA-violation-free Dave and Declan, I've talked to the editor in chief, and the editor in charge of our opinion pieces (which isn't me). Ross Anderson was indeed invited by IEEE Spectrum to write an opinion piece in the magazine. We did, and do, have a very high regard for his various expertises and his dedication to important issues for computing and the on-line world. Nevertheless, we'd like to correct a few inaccuracies in the message from him that was posted by a third party. The original manuscript was fine, but was written for insiders who are immersed in European regulatory issues and already have a background against which to read such an article. There was disagreement about the editing from the outset, and rather than get into some long hoohaa about it, it seemed best to set the manuscript free. It was an excellent idea to post the piece, where it will have reached an appropriate audience in advance of 18 April. Regarding the Newsforge posting, I'm told that removing the reference to the DMCA from the IEEE Copyright Form is in the works and was planned even before the posting. Queries can be directed to the manager of copyrights and permissions, Bill Hagen <w.hagen@ieee.org> Thanks for the chance to respond, Steven -- Steven Cherry, +1 212-419-7566 Senior Associate Editor IEEE Spectrum, 3 Park Ave, New York, NY 10016 <s.cherry@ieee.org> <http://www.spectrum.ieee.org> -- Steven Cherry, +1 212-419-7566 Senior Associate Editor IEEE Spectrum, 3 Park Ave, New York, NY 10016 <s.cherry@ieee.org> <http://www.spectrum.ieee.org> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
