If my comments are used, how would I know? Should I now? Should I care?
Perhaps those whose comments are used should be offered a free copy, even if only of the pages containing their words.
I'm not sure.
What do you think?
Also, the article contributors gets a print copy plus 1 year digital subscription.
All comments should be free to all, on the website, retroactively to the first issue. This was implied when permission was solicited.
When I was using the comment I never thought the authors (graciously) gave me the permission while the issues were still free for digital download.
I will personally contact the comment authors that appeared in the paid issues (#4 - #6) who given me the permission the their comments in the free issues (#1 - #4) to see how we could resolve this.
Then again, that's just me. Some people want to get paid for everything. Tomorrow, I'm guest lecturing an English class at a university, for example. I've found two reactions to this, when I've told people: One group says "Oh, how exciting!" and the other says "Are you getting paid?" Here's a follow up I got to my answer, yesterday: "Too many people from your generation have too clever of an answer for that question."
Both are valid reactions. I just happen to think that the first fits me and my goals better.
