I'm glad I'm not wandering around in the publishing world .. <br /><br />... they steal ebooks too and put them out slightly changed for the incorrect spellers etc .. and they make money from your e-book .. can't remember where I picked this up .. but it's true.<br /><br />And yes - your blogger blog and mine .. are valueless as Google owns it - interesting .. n'est pas?!<br /><br />Cheers - now I need a glass of vino ..

Google claims no ownership or control over any Content submitted, posted or displayed by you on or through Google services. You or a third party licensor, as appropriate, retain all patent, trademark and copyright to any Content you submit, post or display on or through Google services and you are responsible for protecting those rights, as appropriate. By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through Google services which are intended to be available to the members of the public, you grant Google a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to reproduce, publish and distribute such Content on Google services for the purpose of displaying and distributing Google services. Google furthermore reserves the right to refuse to accept, post, display or transmit any Content in its sole discretion.<br /><br />You represent and warrant that you have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the rights granted herein to any Content submitted.<br /><br />You may choose to submit, post, and display any materials on or through the Blogger service or Blogspot.com under a public license (e.g. a Creative Commons license), whether by manually marking your materials as such or using Blogger service tools to do so. For avoidance of doubt, Google is not a party to any such public license between you and any third party. Also, for avoidance of doubt, Google may choose to exercise the rights granted under (a) the public license or licenses, if any, you apply to your materials or (b) this Agreement."<br /><br />So while Google can reproduce anything we post on Blogger, we still own it and can do with it what we wish. I guess it's a subtle difference. Someone wiser in the ways of publishing laws would know better than me.Paul Anthony Shortthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14393249001158230985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-31168099694194706922011-04-29T06:47:00.586-07:002011-04-29T06:47:00.586-07:00Hmm.
