Newsletter
publishers are protected by the federal Copyright Act (17 U.S.C.,
Sec. 101 et seq.). As a member of the Newsletter & Electronic
Publishers Association (NEPA), the Risk Retention Reporter
is providing the following information developed by NEPA on
what can and what cannot be reproduced from the Risk Retention
Reporter.
Subscription newsletters provide businesses and consumers with specialized, accurate and up-to-the-minute information and analysis of developments and trends in a particular niche. Unlike widely circulated newspapers and magazines, most newsletters eschew advertising in order to better maintain their editorial integrity, depending solely upon subscription sales for income. Each time a newsletter is photocopied or forwarded by e-mail, it cuts into the publisher's profits. It is almost always against the law. Some publishers have resorted to law suits to protect their newsletter properties and have won six-figure settlements. |
