As Julie's note indicates, the first batch of books will have to go with the original copyright of CAP. I'm no lawyer, but I think just to be safe we should formally shift the copyright to your name (or our names jointly) rather than the institution. That way, there will be no later confusion about the book being an official CAP product and less of an issue if it comes up. Like I said earlier, 99 percent of the book can easily be defended as educational, c3 work but some opponent or intrepid government bureaucratic might find cause to argue otherwise on the other 1 percent. We should also think about categorizing some of the work on the book on another account - c4 or something independent. Let me know what you think and I'll proceed accordingly. Take care - John Hi John, I looked into this and it's too late to change it in the book. But if you and John feel strongly that it should be changed, we could make it happen for reprints and the paperback. We would have to do a contract amendment because right now CAP is the "Author." The contract would be changed to have John Podesta as the author, and we could put your name in the contract as well, I believe. Let me know what you decide. I'm happy to get that started for you. All best, Julie ------=_Part_7479_31370322.1215648479350 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hi John -<br><br>I took the liberty of exploring whether and how we might go about changing the copyright on the book.
