It looked interesting enough and the dollar-rates are quite attractive at the moment, so I've ordered it. I will come back on this issue as soon as it's arrived.

Hi Brad. Don't get paranoid. All I've seen on this thread so far is publicity for the magazine! No-one has posted anything. And remember, this mag is actually very difficult for some people to get hold of, as not everyone on the forum lives in Europe, or indeed in a part of the world where it's easy to get hold of things like this.

Good luck with the magazine. And tell me, why is it called 'Beatlology', and not 'Beatleology'?

On another level, Brad, people like you are mostly gathering information from other sites and forums such as these. Copyright, Johnny? And isn't there a law against spamming?

Yes, if you're Canadian, or you don't live in an Eastern block country, or parts of Central/South America. What if you don't have a credit card to pay for it online?

If you're going to spam your way around here, please at least do us the courtesy of showing a few pages. Thanks.

Hi,

The copyrighted interview we have with Chas Newby was conducted via the telephone.  All I wanted to do here is assert my copyright over the interview, which I have done.

For fear of being accused of spamming again, I will not discuss the magazine which does accept cheques, money orders and bank drafts.  Over the years, via the Net and various magazines, I have freely distributed my interviews with Bruce Spizer and Mark Lewisohn - with more to come.

Regards,

Brad Howard

I am seeing both sides of the coin here. It's great you are a published editor of The Beatles Brad and welcome. I can understand your concerns about your income stream. However, it's all a bit informal here, theres no need for job titles here. Have a nosey round, you may find we have also edited some worthy, interesting and notable opinions around the place and we have no powers to assert copyright. It's a free forum with people sharing their wonder, and enthusiasm. With the Wild Wild web, it seems copyright is a strange issue. There are plenty of copy and pasted bits of information on the web...it's a fact of life....I doubt wickipedia would be suing for copyright. Maybe you and Bill Harry can communicate by private message about the matter. Also if you have any concerns, please contact one of the admins or moderators direct to avoid a negative public exchange.

The wrath of moderators and admin normally come when it seems the sole purpose for being here is to just sell and capitalise on The Beatles legacy.

Peace & Love.

we try and share information here....i know of noone yet that has stolen information here and released it as their own...it is just not done here...and 4 the record i have no interest in learning anymore about chas or anything of pile hoarders...but if you wanna discuss something interesting ...do so...or beat it bud...

Just to intervene again....Brad and I are in communication and I am hopeful that this has got off on the wrong foot. Happy to delete this thread and start again if all in agreement. Maybe it would be useful left up for people to see? Most people do refer to their sources when posting here and it is a free, fun, interest board. :)

and besides bill only wanted to read it....sorry if i seem abrasive but what you suggest is nonsense and disheartening...i can be callous but then i can be cool too but this discussion shouldn't involve me because i am jaded on the reporters side...a fan can learn without repercussions...can't they?????

Hi everyone,

If I can just add a comment about this thread... Brad is very concerned that people have gone way off on a tangent here about an interview he conducted and published both in World Beatles Forum and later in Beatlology and how it might affect people's opinions of Beatlology. Frankly, I'm not worried. We have thousands of loyal readers, and a post on here is not going to change that.

There are many aspects to the copyright of this article, none of which have to do with selling magazines. I can assure you that. Beatlology is a labour of love for a dozen or so regular contributors and myself, a graphic designer with a REAL JOB who does this on the side as hobby and all money goes right back into printing and mailing. Canada Post has made far more from this magazine than I ever have. I can assure you sales of the magazine are less importance to the fact that we reach thousands of interested readers worldwide, even in the eastern block. Someone there figured out how to pay for it so it can't be all that hard.

Anyways, back to Brad's comment about the copyright. He owns it. Period. He took the time to research the article and spend an hour or so on the phone with Chas and then countless hours transcribing the interview. I'm sure if any of you did the same you'd want to protect the investment of your time in the interview. Maybe some of you HAVE done interviews and HAVE posted them online for free - please send links, we'll copy them and print them in Beatlology. See - got you there didn't I? Brad's interview was not copied from other sources so any comment to that affect is null and void.

The other side of the coin is our valued subscribers. Subscribers do pay annually for a great product and expect exclusivity in what they read, not regurgitated from the web. What if we started posting all our interviews online within a few months of publication in the magazine? Is that fair to them? I think not. They'd leave in droves. I actually posted a few pages of the very first issue to show prospective readers what the magazine looked like, just to drum up interest when it first came out and could not believe the feedback I got from that!

As for the posts that Brad's posts are spam - get over it.

I wish this board well and hope that as Beatles fans you all recognize that a lot of what we do in Beatlology is for loyal subscribers who are big Beatles fans.

Thank and peace.

Yours truly,
Andrew Croft, Publisher

Man, you guys sure are fast typers (typists?  keyboardists?).

I'm glad that things are back on track.  I never thought that this discussion would go the way it did.  This was never my intention.  I stumbled upon this thread by accident.  Up until today, I've never been called a spammer - although I did use a spanner today to fix the pipes under my sink (true).  Without getting too preachy or boring, copyright law varies from country to country.  In Canada (where I live), whenever there is a question of copyright, the holder of a copyright has to first assert their right to the ownership of an intellectual work.  This I did yesterday.  Didn't mean it to come across as being accusatory.  And, I only mentioned the correct information, in this thread, about the back issue so that interested readers could obtain the Chas Newby interview, as I noticed that two different mag covers had been posted.

Thanks,

Brad Howard

and the canada thing explains why you had to let it publically known....my cyber pal manon lives in quebec.....there are many strange laws up yonder for sure...her husband had to take her last name when they married...do you fluent the language?french!! eh? you'll have to learn to say eh after everything... ;D
well brad no hard feelings here i can assure you...
Title: Re: Chas Newby
Post by: Brad Howard on April 13, 2008, 07:30:21 PM
Yeah, strange laws and customs.  Ten years ago, when Andrew was first telling someone aboat his magazine idea, the gent asked him to spell it.  He said, "B-eh E-eh A-eh T-eh L-eh O-eh L-eh O-eh G-eh Y-eh." The guy said, "That's 20 characters.  It'll never fit on the cover!"

Title: Re: Chas Newby
Post by: Brad Howard on April 13, 2008, 07:46:58 PM
Hmmm.  The only maple leaf I like is one pressed in a book.  And, can anyone explain why after I rake my lawn in Autumn, and the snow melts in the Spring that the lawn is full of decomposing maple leaves?  We don't even have a maple tree around us.  That's it, I promise.

Oh yeah, Chas Newby rules!
