Team
Some of you have already read the recent article GM wrote about translation copyright
http://www.wtbn.org/383/p383-01-02.shtm
I read it when it first came out.
Well, basically, in this article, GM talked about two issues.
#1 copyright: the copyright belongs to GM. Nobody else is entitled to it.
#2 Before any translation gets published, it needs to report to TBF. Also, translators need to infom TBF about the
book that he/she is currently translating. TBF will be in charge of publishing the book.
I read it when the article first posted on the website. I called the Daden Publisher righ away.
The Daden Publisher is in charge of publishing GM's books and they are also the liason to GM's copyright lawyer.
I personally have a close relationship with them. I am also in charge of their website and handle some important project
for them.
I was told that we are not publishing any book now, so we are not violating any copyright issue.
However, I am bit concerned about if we have the right to even translate GM's books. After some discussion with them,
what I will do is to tailor down our team schedule http://www.padmakumara.org/lounge/scheduleindex.htm
and fax to TBF.
I hope that it has answered your questions. If you have any concern, please let me know
