Concerning Intellectual property

[angelic.zest]

Angelic, dear one,

the idea is that the story is YOURS, and should not be held hostage (so to speak) by anyone. Should I turn a short story into a novel and wish to sell it through one of the on-line adult book distributors, that publisher would not wish big pieces of the story out there available somewhere for free, obviously; people would not buy it.

Formerly, such stories would be happily removed by the group owner, with comments on the forum celebrating said author's success. Since the buyout about 4 years ago, the policy is different. Many authors who used to contribute here... and damn good ones... will no longer do so. Sad, IMHO.

ty for explaining
