Copy shop
owner settles second copyright infringement suit
A Gainesville,
Florida copy shop owner accused for a second time of making illegal
copies of published materials and selling them to students at
the University of Florida has agreed to an out-of-court settlement
with six publishers. Kenneth R. Roberts, president of Custom Copies,
1202 NW 9th Ave., Gainesville, agreed to pay an undisclosed sum
representing unpaid royalties and damages, settling the case in
which he was alleged to have sold copyrighted materials without
authorization. This is the second copyright infringement lawsuit
filed against Roberts. In May 2003, he settled a suit that had
been brought against him by Elsevier, Inc., John Wiley & Sons,
Inc. and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in October
2002. See below for original TAA news item:
Copy
shop owner settles second copyright infringement suit
A Gainesville,
Florida copy shop owner accused for a second time of making illegal
copies of published materials and selling them to students at
the University of Florida has agreed to an out-of-court settlement
with six publishers. Kenneth R. Roberts, president of Custom Copies,
1202 NW 9th Ave., Gainesville, agreed to pay an undisclosed sum
representing unpaid royalties and damages, settling the case in
which he was alleged to have sold copyrighted materials without

filed against Roberts. In May 2003, he settled a suit that had
been brought against him by Elsevier, Inc., John Wiley & Sons,
Inc. and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in October
2002.
The most
recent suit against Roberts was filed in February 2006 in U.S.
District Court, by Elsevier, Inc., Pearson Education, Inc., John
Wiley & Sons, Inc., SAGE Publications, Inc., Harvard Business
School Publishing and Blackwell Publishing, Inc. The publishers
alleged that Custom Copies, which also did business as Orange
and Blue Textbooks, routinely duplicated and distributed copyrighted
materials in the form of print coursepacks (compilations of book
excerpts and articles from magazines and scholarly journals) without
obtaining copyright permission from the publishers.
"This case
shows that publishers take copyright seriously and will protect
their intellectual property against unauthorized use," said William
Strong, an attorney at Kotin, Crabtree & Strong, LLP, a Boston
law firm that represented the publishers. "Illegal copying compromises
the work of publishers, writers and researchers, and the law in
this area is very clear."
"This was
a significant case of repeat copyright infringement," said Allan
A. Ryan, Jr., Director of Intellectual Property, Harvard Business
School Publishing. "Publishers, authors and scholarly societies
suffer serious financial damage if copyrights are not respected.
In fact, everyone suffers, because revenues from the sale and
reuse of published materials support the creation of new works,
scholarly research and scientific developments."

Bill would
require publishers to disclose information about textbooks
California
Assembly Bill 1548, created by California assemblyman Jose Solorio,
D-Santa Ana, that would require publishers to disclose to private
universities the price differences between single textbooks and
those sold bundled with workbooks or CD ROMS, was introduced to
the state's higher education committee on March 27. The bill also
would require that publishers estimate the print-life of a textbook
edition, the differences between editions, and what an author
earns for using his or her own book in class.

Free workshop
on writing a college textbook
Psychology
textbook author Michael Spiegler will be presenting a three-day
workshop on writing a college textbook at the University of Washington
in Seattle, August 4-6, 2007, as part of one of 70 Chautauqua
Short Courses for teachers that are sponsored by the National
Science Foundation each year. The hands-on, interactive workshop
will cover the challenges and rewards of textbook writing by providing
participants with a realistic snapshot of what it entails, what
is required professionally and personally, how to get started,
and how to bring the vision of a book to fruition, which includes
writing a prospectus and sample chapters, contacting publishers,
negotiating a favorable contract, the writing phase, the production
phase, dealing with publishers, alternatives to traditional publishing,
and survival skills for authors. Spiegler is a professor of psychology
at Providence College, and has been a successful textbook author
for 35 years, with leading books in two areas of psychology. He
is currently writing a comprehensive Handbook for College Textbook
Writing.

Candidate
bios and position statements:
Paul Siegel
(Vice President-President Elect) is a relative newcomer to
the ranks of TAA and to textbook authorship, having attended his
first conference when the first edition of his Communication
Law in America was in press, back in 2000. He served as primary
convention planner for the next year's convention, and was elected
to the TAA Council shortly thereafter.
Siegel, who
is director of the School of Communication at the University of
Hartford, was the founding executive director of the American
Civil Liberties Union's Kansas and Western Missouri affiliate.
A performance arts junkie, Siegel writes theatre reviews for the
Connecticut Life newspapers.
Microsoft's
Steve Ballmer has suggested that the most important question to
ask about any new software, or even the computer itself, is "why
do I need this thing?" It seems to me that we in the TAA would
benefit from periodically asking, "Why would anyone want to be
a member of this association?"
The TAA leadership
needs to do meaningful "in-reach" to its current members, including
our more long-term members who rarely if ever join us at our conferences.
We need to ascertain what we can do to strengthen their sense
of ownership. At the same time we need to continue and expand
our ongoing outreach to potential members and to other core constituencies.
We have much to offer and we need to tell our story frequently
and passionately.
Ronald
E. Pynn (Secretary) is Professor Emeritus from the University
of North Dakota where he taught political science from 1971-1997.
He received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. While at
North Dakota he served as chairman of the Department of Political
Science for 12 years and he was Assistant Vice President for Academic
Affairs from 1992-1994. Pynn has written several books on political
science, including Watergate and the American Political Process,
American Politics: Changing Expectations (5 Edition), Political
Economy, and The Election of 1994. Pynn was a charter member
of TAA, serving as a senior member during its formation. He has
twice been President of TAA (1992-93, 1996-97), and he served
as TAA's Executive Director from 1995-2005. Pynn served as TAA
Secretary from 2005 to 2007. He presently resides in Burlington,
Vermont.
I am running
for a second term as Secretary, not so much because I really want
the position, but out of my sense of loyalty and commitment to
TAA. There are no other candidates who have stepped forward. Were
there, I would gladly pass on the leadership to the next generation.
But I have
been involved with TAA too long, and I have seen the good work
TAA has accomplished, especially for beginning authors and with
copyright around the world, so I continue that work until another
person feels called to work on behalf of authors and to continue
the work achieved by TAA.
Steven
E. Gillen (Council) is a lawyer and Member of the 200-lawyer
firm of Greenebaum Doll & McDonald. Steve has been practicing
publishing and copyright law for over 25 years and has been involved
with educational publishing for 30 years. Prior to entering private
practice in 1994, Mr. Gillen served as house counsel for South-Western
Publishing Company (an educational publisher owned by The Thomson
Corporation). In addition, Mr. Gillen has served on copyright
and permissions committees with the Association of American Publishers.
He has written and spoken nationally on various publishing and
copyright topics and teaches a course in Media Business and Law
at the University of Cincinnati and a course in Electronic Media
Law at the College Conservatory of Music. He has served on the
Council of Advisors to the Text and Academic Authors Association
since 1997, and currently serves on the Board of Trustees of Voyageur
Media Group, Inc., and is a member of the Authors Guild. Mr. Gillen's
practice emphasizes publishing and entertainment transactions
and disputes, internet issues, advertising law, computer law,
copyrights, trademarks, and related matters. His clients include
several East Coast publishers as well as authors, artists, photographers,
videographers, independent producers, Internet service providers,
multimedia developers, and software programmers from Maine to
California. Mr. Gillen is admitted to practice in Ohio and before
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio and
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
I first became
involved in educational publishing in 1976, first taught in 1986,
and first became associated with the TAA in 1997 - every decade,
it seems, brings with it a new stage in my understanding of and
appreciation for the call of teaching and writing. I have been
around the educational and academic publishing business for 30
years, as contract writer, freelance writer, author, co-author,
copyeditor, editor, executive editor, and author's lawyer as well
as an in-house lawyer for a publishing company and outside counsel
to book and magazine publishers. Over the course of those 30 years
and the range of those roles, there aren't many facets of the
business I haven't experienced and not many perspectives I haven't
seen. I propose to bring that insight, balance, and identity of
interest to bear on the issues facing the teacher-authors I count
as my clients, my colleagues, and (with good fortune) my constituents:
- Better
access to useful and timely information about the profession
and the business
- Fair treatment
at the hands of publishers - textbook and academic
- Due credit
from academic institutions for the professional value of textbook
and journal authorship
- Careful
stewardship of the professional association that guards these
interests - TAA
Jan Lyons
(Council) is an adjunct professor in Risk Management at Southern
Methodist University in Dallas. She holds degrees in Economics
and Systems Engineering from The College of William and Mary,
Clemson University and the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
She recently completed her first textbook, Risk Management for
Technical Professionals, to fill a void in available Systems Engineering
publications. Prior to joining SMU, Dr. Lyons worked in varying
capacities in Operations Research and Systems Engineering with
Lockheed Martin, Martin Marietta Energy Systems and General Dynamics.
She led efforts in risk oversight, business systems implementation,
software program management, and mathematical modeling research
and development.
Although I
am still a journeyman in textbook and academic authoring, I am
sincerely enjoying the learning process and the new avenues it
has opened for me. While it is a stretch to consider myself either
a professional academic or author, I believe I could provide an
alternative perspective on the TAA council into how TAA might
best serve non-traditional authors. Many of my contemporaries
are also leaving the corporate world while still young enough
to pursue other interests. These second careers and pastimes often
involve or require effective use of written communications in
order to share knowledge gained over long and varied professional
careers.
Hannah
Rubenstein (Council) is a writer and editor who has used her
academic training in communication (M.A., Fairfield University)
to guide her collaborations as co-author on three editions of
A Speaker's Guidebook (2007;Bedford/St. Martins), A
Pocket Guide to Public Speaking (2007;Bedford/St. Martins);
Public Speaking: Challenges and Choices (1999; Bedford/St.
Martins) and other successful college texts. Beginning her publishing
career as an editorial assistant at the Yale University Press,
former positions include development editor with Allyn and Bacon,
managing editor of an academic journal, reporter, and arts critic.
The mother of two school-aged children, she heads her own communication
firm, Hedgehog Productions, based in Simsbury, Connecticut.
I believe
that we are facing extraordinary changes in the publishing world.
Foremost among these are the advent of the ebook and the continued
growth of custom publishing. Both pose challenges to business
as usual. Publishers never lose sight of their own interests,
and I believe that text and academic authors must also consider
theirs. If elected, I would like to work with TAA and other publishing
groups to protect authors' rights in this changing environment.
Nick J.
Sciullo (Council) I was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and
lived most of my life in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I majored in
history and urban practice and policy with a minor in rhetoric
and communication studies at the University of Richmond and received
my law degree from West Virginia University. I am currently pursuing
a Masters degree in international relations. My publications include
law review articles on feminism and foreign policy as well as
governance and race issues. My editorials have discussed political
rhetoric, climate policy, and North Korea. My current interests
are leading me to pursue scholarly articles on hip-hop and the
law, constitutional history and criticism, and the railroad industry
and economics.
I want to
advocate for young authors who need the resources and support
to find jobs and see their writing published. I feel that often
times young authors are left in the wake of more seasoned authors
and that young authors need a firm support system of editors,
collaborators, and friends to build their scholarly reputation.
I also believe that the TAA should work to encourage interdisciplinary
collaboration amongst its members. Writers in the field of law
should be brought together with writers from history, political
science, and sociology. Visual media writers should work with
rhetoric authors. Science writers should work with those in liberal
arts. Subjects and research areas should be imbued with the spirit
of other disciplines to enhance their accessibility and interest
as well as to build new audiences for various disciplines. I believe
increasing the amount of collaboration can benefit all text ad
academic authors.
Nancy J.
Volkman (Council) Nancy J. Volkman is a graduate of Beloit
College, Beloit, WI and University of Illinois, Urbana, IL. She
currently serves as an associate professor in the Department of
Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning at Texas A&M University,
College Station, Texas. She There her principal areas of teaching
have focused upon landscape history, cultural landscape studies,
design and planning for historical landscapes, and community design.
She is widely published, particularly in the area of landscape
history, including the leading text and reference in that field,
Landscapes in History, co-authored with Phil Pregill, now
going into its 3rd edition. Professor Volkman is a member of several
honor societies, including Phi Kappa Phi, and a registered landscape
architect in the state of Texas. She is also in her third year
as co-editor of ARRIS—the Journal of the Southeast Chapter
of the Society of Architectural Historians.
As the world
of publishing changes rapidly, I believe that it is essential
that those who actually generate what is to be published have
an active role in framing the discussion and shaping the decisions
about how all parties in the process can be fairly recognized
and treated,. This is not just with regard to royalties and other
forms of compensation, but in terms of the quality of what is
produced. As an academic, I am, of course, particularly interested
in issues related to scholarly works, including those deemed textbooks.
Issues of the relationship between schools and publishers and
potential conflicts of interest should be addressed by organizations
such as Text and Academic Authors Association, since they represent
both the breadth and depth of current academic writing.
