Thanks for the additional detail.nartreb said:Dougpaul, Mad Townie have it right (and I think dave.m's got the gist but his wording is unfortunate): anything written down (in the US since 1979(?) and any Berne convention country) is instantly, automatically copyright by its author (though in the case of a "work for hire", an employer is considered to be the "author" for this purpose). <snip>
As I understand it (I am not a lawyer, etc...), if one published a book of journal entries without getting permission from the authors, one would be at risk for being sued.
And getting said permission from a large selection of scattered authors (who don't even give you their real names...) would be a massive task.
