Author Demands Copyright Takedown Over Interview Given 20 Years Ago

techdirt1

“Author Bill Bryson, known for his ‘humorous books on travel,’ along with his publisher Transworld (a division of Random House), are apparently claiming that Bryson holds the copyright on an interview he gave 20 years ago to Mike Gerrard, who published it in the literary magazine Passport (where Gerrard was the publisher). Thinking people might be interested in that interview, Gerrard (smartly) dusted it off and republished it as a Kindle e-book (it sounds like a Kindle Single, but that’s not made clear anywhere). Amazon has since taken the book down.”
