Is an interesting article on one of the more thorny aspects of
publishers wanting to republish their work on CD.

Some photographers feel that the CD would constitutes a "New Work" and
thus new royalties need to be negotiated.

National Graphic Magazine insisted that is was just a republishing, and
no new realties were needed.

Now there are two different court opinions: one disagreeing with
National Geographic (The 11th circuit court in Atlanta) and one agreeing
with National Graphic (from the 2nd circuit court in New York).

This could be one of the many reasons why we don't have an official CD
edition of The Rainbow.
