Hi,

I was going to suggest you join Magnum, and let them look after this
sort of thing <g>.

But then I remembered that they have similar problems. Philip Jones
Griffiths told a story about it at a talk I went to once.

After Francis Ford Coppola had eventually finished 'Apocalypse Now!'
it was clear that he had lifted some significant sections and pieces
of text from the book 'Vietnam, Inc.' by Jones-Griffiths. So Magnum
asked for some money and a credit because they own the copyright.

Griffiths said "Coppola replied in the traditional Hollywood style:
'Sue me'".

Magnum never got their money or credit, so at least you're in good
company.

Cheers,

Bob
