Then you don't know him at all.

 MvdV> Exactly.

 MvdV>>>>> That plus the fact that he insisted that by submitting an

 MvdV>>> Maybe in the US. Not here.

 >> You know that I doubt the verasity of that statement.

 MvdV> Doubt all you want, it is true.

Just because you say so, doesn't make it so.

 MvdV> Goto this link:

 MvdV> On this page you can see a picture taken somewhere in my village.
 MvdV> There is picture for every day. The editor of this website is Renk

 MvdV> "May". Then click on 05-30 in the second column. Be sure to click
 MvdV> on the date, not the name of the street.

 MvdV> See the copyright notice below the picture? It says the copyright
 MvdV> is *mine*, not that of the editor. You can see another picture I
 MvdV> made by clicking on 05-31.

 MvdV> Some of these daily pictures are made by the editor himself, others
 MvdV> are made by volunteers like me and they all carry a copyright
 MvdV> notice for the maker, not the editor.

That doesn't mean that the editor may not do as he wishes with your work.
You gave him permission to use it, that's the end of that.

 >>>> If you don't agree to it, then don't submit your articles.

 MvdV>>> Which is exactly what I did: I submitted no more articles until
 MvdV>>> we got an editor who took a different stance.

 >> With his reputation as a violator of copyrights, I'm surprised
 >> that you would trust him with your articles.

 MvdV> I am not aware of any copyright violations on the  part of Frank
 MvdV> Vest.

I'm talking about the present editor and the articles you've submitted
under his watch.
