I posted Saturday about how this got started and the point at which, should SPJ have chosen the path of diplomacy, this all could have been resolved.<BR/><BR/>I am saddened by a waste of four years of working on behalf of freelancers.

The plaintiffs didn't bring a suit solely on the basis of re-use of their materials, but also on the various subsidiaries and other entities involved. And you're right--"What a waste..." fully applies here. SPJ lost the best freelance chair we've ever had and an employee of comparable talents too.<BR/><BR/>Erik, cheese?Kay Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275071321640008940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713054133244349444.post-8220476940673178872007-08-11T10:12:00.000-04:002007-08-11T10:12:00.000-04:00Good work on the decision analysis.

The quality of the freelancers who've even signed up with SPJ (at least in the past) make the situation even more disturbing: because there are so many excellent, savvy, smart, experienced ones who could have prevented this whole fiasco.
