Jayne Lyn Stahl's Membership Forum Response

11/1/05

I have no objection to having my published/copyrighted works made available to the public via the Google Print Library Project.

Really, whether one objects or not is academic and, for the most part, a moot point as, increasingly, one's work is already published online, and freely accessible. To limit, and curtail, the parameters of the Internet, and technology, would be like trying to put braces on a comet. That said, I think that there must be a policy, and laws, about duplicating, and reprinting, copyrighted works which factor in the needs and/or desires of the author first and foremost.
