  I'm pretty sure it was mentioned a couple times in there that he asked her and she gave permission. The fact that you would criticize that element and not on her attitude about not paying for his work frankly blows my mind a little.

    She clearly stipulated that he only had permission to reproduce some parts of her work, and he goes out of his way to mention that he breached that license. Why on earth do you think that copyright law should protect him and not her?

      She clearly stipulated that he only had permission to reproduce some parts of her work Where? From the article - JB: "I'll answer your question, but I'd like your permission to post the exchange on my website. Deal?" Eleanor: "absolutely!" From the update: "For those of you who were concerned, I did eventually hear from Eleanor. She said she didn't feel annoyed or offended that I had posted her remarks, she did understand where I was "coming from," and she appreciated that I took the time to deal with her." I'm not seeing where she "clearly stipulated that he only had permission to reproduce some parts of her work."

        That quotation in full: JB: "I'd like your permission to post the exchange on my website. Deal?" E: "absolutely! that would actually be kind of cool. but if you wouldn't mind changing my name in it to 'Eleanor.' I'm not sure why my iPod put it as 'Brenna' but that's not what I go by and I don't like that name."
