Agreed, (and since I do TONS of this here at UM). Just because one owns 
the publication a work is in, it does not give one the permission or 
right to republish that work. That remains with the author. Control and 
protection of intellectual knowledge are a big part of today's 
copyright. On the Internet one has little control of where or who gets a 
work. While giving proper credit is required when citing a work, 
changing the FORMAT of a work can be a copyright violation as it is 
essentially republishing the work for a new audience. Rule of thumb on 
format change is...get permission first and IN WRITING, then move forward.

I invite anyone who wants to look more into copyright to look to the 
University of Texas's website on copyright. Theirs is one of the easiest 
to read.
