| May 2, 2018 at 14:46 | comment | added | Nemo | Which publishers are you talking about? The academic publishers definitely make German authors sign CTA with exclusivity and whatnot, even if they might be illegal. | |

| May 2, 2018 at 14:17 | comment | added | Andreas H. | @Nemo: I have not missed it. First, there is no such thing as "copyright transfer" in Germany. VG Wort pays money to the authors and authorship is non-transferrable in Germany. The authors grant the publishers a right-to-use (which would be equivalent to the copyright transfer) and to my knowledge this is not prohibiting that one can receive money from the VG Wort. Then the VG Wort would not make sense at all, because almost all authors have some kind of publisher. | |
