Hello Tiger, I would like to read what you have to say on the author’s copyright and story removal theme.
I assume this was merely a misunderstanding.
(Should any such policy change indeed occur in the future – which I personally would consider very ill-advised – , as I understand the matter, such a non-cancellable license agreement could only be valid for stories submitted after these license terms would have been expressly posted and agreed to by each author in the story submission process; but certainly not retroactively for stories posted in the past, without any such agreement.)
