IEEE Drops DMCA Reference in Authors Copyright Form

Posted by Roblimo on from the nothing-has-really-changed-except-the-paperwork dept.

aurelian writes "a follow-up on this story in April: the IEEE has announced that they have re-revised their copyright form and dropped the requirement that authors verify their work does not violate the DMCA. Seems to be as a result of feedback from their authors/members. Of course authors still have to comply with the act - they just don't have to see it mentioned in the new form."

    Normally the lawyers would have all kinds of legal protections packed in fifteen layers deep, with all kinds of disclaimers, and indemnification up the ying yang.

    So what went right this time?
