Ds ask patients to assign copyright in any web-posting that mentions their care, to simplify censorshipCory Doctorow at 5:47 PM Mon sez, "Some doctors are being urged to give their patients a legal form that transfers a patient's copyright over web postings if they mention the doctor or practice online. The doctor can then send a DMCA takedown notice and have the criticism removed from the web without filing a lawsuit. As a fiction writer this worries me greatly, especially since the organization pushing this copyright transfer says it can also be used for fictional posts."When Online Gripes Are Met With a LawsuitGo to the doctor, lose the copyright to your writings Regards, Vergelpowerusa dot org
