Good to know!<br /><br />I'm not too worried about the law and copyrights on my book yet, but my friend is.

After all, we're assuming here that your critique partners are people you trust to be honest and generally nice (i.e. people who won't try to steal your WIP and sell it as their own).<br /><br />But even if your critique partners turned out to be soul-less nincompoops and tried to present your writing as their own, you'd have grounds to take them to court.<br /><br />This doesn't mean that if they took some aspect of your idea you could sue them. The idea is not the same as the book. But if they took your actual chapters and claimed they were theirs then it's copyright infringement.<br /><br />I'll be talking more about The Idea vs. The Book next week so stay tuned!Gabriela Pereirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007834914023986058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021826296342479548.post-77011013108772435482011-02-15T13:44:37.117-05:002011-02-15T13:44:37.117-05:00Ah thanks!
