Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics has been involved in a legal dispute with CRC Press. It's now back online, but Eric's tale of the struggle should be a strong warning to any author who's writing for the joy of being read (as many technical authors are) who thinks that dead trees might bring a wider audience.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
