More on the Fanzines book

Filed Under zine news | Leave a Comment

A couple more takes on the Fanzines book:

“It is interesting that Zine World chose to use the word “appropriate” for the title of its article. As zinesters, we often appropriate images, words, and ideas from other (usually print) media. We often do so with no regard to source material.” Includes suggested guidelines for reprinting from zines. Read more…

“It’s too late to go back. Because I wasn’t alerted until the book had already gone to press, there is no way of having my zine properly credited. So here is what I want: I want every copy of the book Fanzines by Teal Triggs to come with an insert that states proper credits for both myself and anyone else who may have been mis-credited. It should also disclose the fact that proper permissions were not secured prior to publishing the book, and some copyrights were flouted. It should explain the reasons for this and include a formal apology. I also believe that those zine creators whose work is published in the book deserve a free copy.” Read more…

Incidentally, we’re still waiting for answers about how many zine images were not properly cleared for permission to reprint, and whether the publisher required the author to obtain permissions, and how the author/publisher would handle it if someone refused permission this late in the game. Guess we won’t hold our breath.
