"Does that just apply to your new re-write, and anything else you might have written? Only with the one that I downloaded you give people the right to distribute it as they see fit, with no real restrictions at all other than making it into a real book or making a film of it."
I have no idea what the legal situation is, but clearly at that time I'd given up all hope of getting a nickel from Risen (and was probably clinically depressed at the time). It was probably a stupid thing to do, to give it away, but I really don't care much if you pass it around.
I'd rather you didn't put it up on a "free ebook" site, if you're asking my druthers. Soon I'd like to make Risen available as an ebook and if I can make a few bucks, pay some bills, I'll be happy, so yeah, I'd rather that people pay the modest amount I'll charge.
What you do now is up to you and your personal moral sense. You know my preference, but you have the "gotcha" in your pocket if you're intent on posting Risen or somesuch. You have to decide what's more important, what's right, etc.
I understand why people aren't sympathetic toward Marvel and/or DC. But we all have to have our own moral compasses and I think it's better to rise above them than to stoop to their level, which is basically amoral, to be human rather than corporate.
