Rob Beschizza, BoingBoing; Scholastic fixes greedy copyright rule in this year's awards
"Last year, 8th-grader and cartoonist Sasha Matthews discovered that the Scholastic Awards had a nasty rule buried in the fine print: all the childrens' work submitted for consideration became the property of Scholastic. This year, Scholastic fixed the rules, only taking a license to publish the entries. It's a big victory for the kids and a smart decision by the company."
The Ebook version of my Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology" will be published on December 11, 2025 and the Hardback and Paperback versions will be available on January 8, 2026. The book includes chapters on IP, OM, AI, and other emerging technologies. Preorders are available via Amazon and this Bloomsbury webpage: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/ethics-information-and-technology-9781440856662/
