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 Paperback version of my Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology" will be published on Nov. 13, 2025; the Ebook on Dec. 11; and the Hardback and Cloth versions on Jan. 8, 2026.
