Many times, authors take issue with unlimited electronic use because of legitimate concerns about piracy, says Amorette Pedersen, publishing director, media tech and security at Elsevier Science & Technology Books.
“Given our various lines of product, we find it interesting that authors also vary in their approach to e-product,” she says. “Some endorse it and want us to exploit every e-revenue opportunity we can. Others fear it and worry about copyright and piracy issues. We have had to address these varying concerns prior to contract negotiations, during negotiations and with our royalty reporting. This is an ongoing education process that involves ensuring them of the legal steps we take when it comes to piracy.”
