The English Department at SCSU has posted an entire piece written by [livejournal.com profile] davidlubar without his permission, although they did remember to add his copyright notice. This comes not long after the folks at Nassau Community College tried something similar with a poem by F.J. Bergmann (although they've removed the offending bit and any reference to it). Because, you know, authors should be honored by the illegal repostings, and honor pays the bills just as well as money.

Yes, but now we're finally seeing people getting caught.

In my dream world this gives way to a universal micropayments system whereby in most circumstances I can use something I find and have the author instantly and automatically receive the proper royalty. (of course, that also means that I too receive micropayments when people use things I create too.)

Hey, don't look at me like that, I can dream, can't I?
