Thanks for posting those. Contracts with alt-weeklies incl. fairly rapid reversion of all rights to the author, in my experience---which doesn't incl. Philly City Paper, but makes me wonder if Broad Street Media really could make "intellectual property rights" stick, if faced with a suit, by the writers union, for instance. Anybody remember Contentville? They had "backdoor rights," technically, but disappeared pretty quickly.
