I don't remember now but there was a book a while back I validated that the
publisher was clearly listed as the copyright holder and it wasn't kicked
back. Now that I think about it. Armageddon the copyright holder is Hyperion
books. I think I have that spelling right without going back to the book. So
it does happen.

I spoke to Gustavo week before last about the problem of kicking books back
to the Step 1 page due to copyright issues. He says that the main reason it
is happening is because some volunteers do not understand what copyright is
and that they are entering the publisher's name in the copyright field
instead of the copyright holder.
That is why I downloaded The Abortion Myth to take a look for myself at its
copyright page. If you read Elizabeth's earlier messages related to her
problems with the copyright for that book, she said more than once that the
copyright seems to be the publisher. She asked for help verifying the
copyright and expressed frustration over the book not being accepted. As
you can see from the following copyright statement taken from the downloaded
book, the copyright says that the holder is Leslie Cannold, who is the
author, not the publisher.
Copyright C Leslie Cannold, 1998
E, I don't mean to be picking on you. You just happen to be the first one
with a copyright issue since I spoke with Gustavo about the problem.
The Bookshare staff is looking into updating the validation instructions to
explain how to identify the copyright holder and copyright date to prevent
future frustration by volunteers.

What Gustavo apparently is looking for is verification of the copyright
from a source that isn't the book itself.
The easiest one, if it is listed, is the database of the U.S. copyright
office.
Other possibilities include other web sources or a note from the copyright
holder.
The book itself appears not to be enough.
Why, beats me!!
