i hate to say it, but to me the matter of do you put it in the notes comes down to how far you want to push it. They obviously have no case unless they can prove that their work was significantly different from the original work. In music it would b…
Hate to be a downer, but I think this is a horrible idea. Print is dead. Even the giants of print are writhing in the last throws of life. You could move something like this online though. Like any good business, start small and work your way up. If…
