- Why would it do that? Brad is simply acting as a publisher.
- If he has bought one-time publishing rights to the stories, then the
- rights immediately revert back to the writers. If he has bought
- exclusive rights to the stories (which I doubt), then he could choose
- whether or not to put the stories into the public domain.

- Brad Templeton actually has very strong feelings about
- copyright on the Net. Why don't you ask him?
