Mumsnet Talk

I'll try to be brief here- and please excuse lack of too much detail for obvious reasons.

I wrote a piece for an overseas publication and they have been slower than I expected in publishing it- not yet in print and no definite date and no fee yet.

What is the situatio re. copyright for pubs. overseas-I have signed nothing and had no contract. Could I re-use this case study in the UK, albeit with a slightly different angle?

did you offer it on spec or did they come to you?

if it's your case study and you found him/her then you'd be pretty safe to use in UK

So they've not run it and not paid you? Yep, use it again.

if nothing in writing and not paid for its still yours to do with as you wish
