I perceive little demand for the literal copying of textual works such as blogs and zines. In fact, if someone honestly does such a thing they are providing a hosting/mirroring service to me at their cost -- unless banner advertising is involved. 2. I perceive little demand for the creation of derivative works of textual works such as blogs and zines. Software: yes, multimedia: somewhat. 3. Where there is such "derivative demand", it's likely to violate the authors concepts of attribution and association. For instance, if you do make a derivative work of something I wrote, change a few words and the attribution, and host it at your own site, you're probably going to piss me off. In other cases, whatever you do would likely file under fair use rights (e.g., Wind Done Gone). 4. Most zines/blogs published on the Web are done so without much concern for these issue. If there is text, they are typically some form of copyleft or a very confused license (which confounds trademarks, copyrights, patents, and the rights thereof). > I'd love to know how you guys classify your free, > online publications.

I have this [1] license associated with my on-line content, that was based on published zines [2], which sounds very familiar to a couple of recent projects I've heard about where people swap/exchange journals [3] and such. Of course, it's all a paper (or digital) tiger as I know its compliance is marginal! Of course, it's interesting and important stuff to learn about none-the-less.
