Sorry for the cross-post but I think
all writers should see this.
I write news articles for www.woodenhorsepub.com, a news and market resource site for nonfiction writers, and this just came across my desk:
Boston Globe can continue to rip off freelancers - other publishers may follow.
July 2, 2000 - According to a Massachusetts judge, The Boston Globe newspaper can require prospective freelance writers to give up all rights - even for work done in the past.
If The Globe wins in the upcoming class action suit, other newspapers, magazines and content providers could legally adopt the same, restrictive contracts.
You can read the whole article on the site (www.woodenhorsepub.com) and it’s really scary if writers don’t win this.
