Usage only on stolen articles?
Posted: Thu Mar 11, 2010 8:57 pm
Hopefully someone here knows a bit more about what is going on, because I am in a dead panic right about now.
I got an email from support stating that my stolen articles were "reinstated for usage". I want to sell those articles for full rights. I wrote them. No one has purchased them, so why am I being barred from selling a full rights license on the articles? It certainly isn't fair to penalize any of us for something that isn't our fault. Legally, the rights to the article still belong to me. That should give me the right to sell those rights. Why doesn't it?
I'm sorry if I sound worked up, but I am a whole host of emotions right now - frustrated, angry, and dumbfounded being just a few.
