Who actually is the publisher at USCF? I take it that the editor is not
the publisher, so is it the sitting President of the board?

Phil Innes



The Executive Director.


Thank you.

Therefore on receiving a notice of challenge to copyright, the Ex Dir need
(a) establish if USCF is responsible for protecting it, (b) if so, research
if the copyright is still in force, (c) advise violators of copyright that
the material is protected and not public domain, (d) and additionally
suggest the normal means of recompense, and finally (e) advise copyright
holders what actions have been taken, and when.

He has two instances in this case - the material presumably copyright Pal
Benko as published in ChessLife which are published or intended to be
published by Mr. Sam Sloan, and secondly other material from ChessLife
presumtively [?] re-copyrighted by Mr. Edward Winter, and uncertainly
involving Russell Enterprises' use of same in its columns.
