I ran across this article, and laughed at its ludicrousness. It seems that a publishing company is sweating bullets and a bunch of science fiction writers around the world are hopping mad.
Galaktika was once a respected Hungarian language science fiction magazine, closed in 1995, and later reopened. Right now it's Hungary's only printed SF magazine. The only trouble is, its publisher, Metropolis Media, took copyrighted fiction from the internet and had it translated to Hungarian and republished it, saying it was in the public domain because it had been on the internet!
They're presently in some deep trouble with professional writers and their agents. Did they really believe that, I wonder? I'll bet if it was movies they'd REALLY be in trouble!
The article is worth a read. It was written by by Cat Rambo (honest, that's her real name), an old sciene fiction writer who has won Hugo and Nebula awards, and is president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America; the SFWA is a professional guild.
