Hi all! New with a quick question
Posted: Fri Mar 01, 2013 4:18 pm
Hello everyone!
I've been with Constant Content for a few weeks now and just sold my first article. It was purchased for a usage license, at least I thought it was. They put in an offer (I accepted) and under the license category it said "Use," which I assumed meant a Usage license. I just googled my article and found it. Upon reading it, I noticed words were changed along with no credit given to me as the author. It was actually published under a different author's name. Of course, I would have no problem with this had they paid the price for the full rights license. Anyways, my question is this - Have I misunderstood the definition of each license or has the client misused this license? If so, what should I do (if anything can be done)?
Thank you for your time and help!
