===================
 ST>>> No, you don't get it... The permission is already given.

 MvdV>>> Then show us the written contract where it says so.

 ml>> and there's a written and signed contract with fidonews?? hello?

 MvdV>> So you can't show the paper where I grant Shannon distribution
 MvdV>> rights. Thought so.

 ml> i have absolutely nothing to do with that... that's what you get for
 ml> attempting to think ;)  you can't show the paper where you grant
 ml> fidonews distribution rights, either...

 MvdV> Why should *I* have to show any papers? 

because you are attempting to acertain that there is wrong doing on the part of
others and that these papers are a requirement... that means that you have a
copy of each and every one of them so that you can check and validate that the
parties involved are doing right by your supposed contract...

 MvdV> I am the copyright holder of my articles, I am the one *giving* 
 MvdV> the distriution rights. 

right... and you would have a copy of each and every contract of distribution,
right??

 MvdV> It is the reciever(s) of those rights that should show the paper
 MvdV> when push comes to shove. 

why when you have a copy also? if you don't have a copy, how can you tell if
they present one that has been modified to extend what they can do with the
articles?

 MvdV> The ony on granted distribution rights for the articles in
 MvdV> question is Björn Felten. I am confident he can produce the
 MvdV> written permission should the need arise.

 ml> i mean, good grief... your position is untenable on so many fronts...

 MvdV> That shows you know nothng about Dutch copyright law.

no, it shows that you and others simply do not look at all possible angles...
as a scientist, you should be ashamed of yourself for even letting a notion
like that get attached to you... 

 MvdV> But I a m not going to repeat the aergumenst. Wade through the
 MvdV> mail and you will see them.

i don't need to...

 ml> and yo uare using it as a weapon against someone simply because you
 ml> disagree with things that that individual has done?

 MvdV> I am merely showing everyone what a hypocrite he is by insisting
 MvdV> that Björn submits to *US* copyright laws, but refuses to respect
 MvdV> *Dutch*  copyright laws when it concerns my articles.

but that is NOT what you are doing! can't you see that? look at it from the
other angles, scientist... and you should stop being such the hypocrite
yourself...
