So if you ever hope to publish your techniques via the mainstream press, you may be shooting yourself in the foot. I've been asked literally hundreds of times to write a vessels tutorial. I can't, because of the first North American rights issue.

Tink, is this true as well if you have a tut published in a magazine - have you given up your rights to that subject?
