Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: LOT (Little OT): Interesting Oracle related URL's.
I have a question on this topic. How do you know of a paper is copyrighted? I downloaded the DBA 101 page and printed it so I could usefully benefit from it. Was that wrong? Am I a lawbreaker now? There was no information anywhere which said it was copyrighted and could not be re-printed without permission, ... et.al. So how do we distinguish copyright material and not? Is every web page copyrighted? Just because Mr. Spence and others have a web page with tehcnical opinions and information, are those now copyrighted? I think this is a slippery slope we are walking here. 'Copyrighted' carries a heavy annotation with it. Careful how you use it. So, what is the rule on web pages with no (c) or warnings in the paper?
On another topic, I DO believe that you make alot more money writing a technical book. Even though Rachel, and others on this list, may not benefit from royalities, they surely will benefit from having that on their resume. No doubt you can charge a higher rate or salary from having published material. In all comes from experience. Higher education -> higher pay. More experience on the job -> higher pay. Book author in your specific field and job duties -> higher pay. If not, you should re-negotiate.
FWIW, I own copies of Rachel's book and Velpuri's book and Sarin's book and Devraj's book and Ault's book and ...
Steve A. , when are you going to write a book and give us all a brain dump of your texpertise?
