I write a great novel hoping to put my kids through college. It hits
big, but I keel over. My estate gets bukis (sp?) under your plan. Or I'm
a great writer, but I really need a publisher to push my work. So I need
to be able to sign it over.
Life's funny that way, ain't it.
But I can appreciate that. But your kids didn't write the novel, you
did. Maybe you should have put some of those royalties in a good
investment fund for them. Or encourage them to do something creative
like you did.
Would it be unreasonable to suggest that the coporations might put a hit
out on someone who owns the copyright of something they want, so under
DJA's system the idea is now "in the clear"
