Huge gobs of work out the door...
Oct. 22nd, 2012 07:16 pmI got way more out the door today than I had planned. Hooray!
Sent out all but one invoice, and I'm going to hold off on sending that one until the end of the month. It will probably take a nice chunk of time to compile, so maybe I ought to do a little at a time, so as not to be overwhelmed?
Got asked if I work from German to English today. Responded with a one word answer, a number greater than 8 and less than 10. There are limits.
Am less than thrilled that the doctrine of "first sale" (which basically holds that copyright holders can only control the first sale of a book, magazine, etc., leaving you free to resell, lend, or give away said copyrighted work) will be considered by the Supreme Court.
Like most such issues, there are subtlties. The crux, apparently, is whether the doctrine of first sale applies only to items manufactured in the United States or to items manufactured legally in other countries, too. There would appear to be a reasonable summary of what's at stake here. Before the Obamacare decision, I would not have given a plugged nickel for the publisher's chances in such a suit; since the Obamacare decision, no idiocy can really be considered too far out for the Court to uphold.
Cheers...
