Scanning ERMag

[W6CUX]

The editor of Electric Radio Magazine asked me to post the policy 
statement regarding copying and distributing copyrighted ER published 
material. Although EWMag is not a subscriber I think we should allow him 
this space because this subject often comes up.
This is a combination of several emails.

The policy varies between the different publications. Sometimes an 
author signs away all rights to his work upon publication, sometimes not.
At Electric Radio, an author's work remains his property, and he is free 
to do whatever else he wishes to do with it.
The copyright only applies to what is printed in Electric Radio.
