No it wouldn't as long as a copyright notice was included. Granted it could
end up in some conntry with no copyright law and get pirated, but that could
happen even if printed in Analog. From the sound of it it works like syndicationwhere you get paid by how many papers pick up a column, so the same rules would
apply hence you still own copyright and have only leased noexclusive reprint
