Hi all
Note Mr Stammer's comment "The journal is sustained by selling its
content and without sales revenue Emu would cease. It does nothing to
support the journal by giving away the content" ...
Are authors/contributors sustained and supported for writing such
valuable content?

Would all readers of Birding-Aus please remember that It is a breach
of copyright to distribute any publication without the approval of its
publisher or author, or in some cases both. Scanning, photocopying,
faxing and distributing articles by other means - even typing them
into a Word document first - can all be breaches of copyright.
Academic journals are particularly susceptible, due to their high cost
of production and limited subscription base. Please abide by these
laws and do not distribute, or request copyright materials via
birding-aus. If you wish to obtain copies of articles, particularly
those published by Birds Australia, please contact that organisation
or CSIRO Publishing.
I pass on the following information, sent to me earlier today by
Andrew Stammer form CSIRO Publishing:
it has come to our attention that the BirdingAus listserver has
carried correspondence requesting supply of PDFs of papers from Emu
... We must advise you that to provide the PDFs is against the terms
and conditions under which the papers are available to readers either
through their institutional subscription or through any personal
subscription through Birds Australia. Specifically, individuals do
not have permission to pass on this content.
All the content of Emu is copyright Birds Australia. Under the
contract to publish the Journal CSIRO PUBLISHING looks after
permissions requests and copyright issues. The journal is sustained
by selling its content. Without sales revenue Emu would cease. It
does nothing to support the journal by giving away the content ... We
would be happy for you to encourage people needing access to the
papers to contact CSIRO PUBLISHING directly.
