"Atoms to Bits: The Future of Money," in the June/July edition of Markets magazine (page 17), appears to have an unattributed quote from our very own Bob Hettinga:
Yeah. the guy who wrote it said that he did attribute it to me, but since I was "someone the average Telerate user wouldn't recognise", the copy editors killed it.
After this happened to me a while back, I told a later reporter that I expected any quotes from me would be credited, as they were my words. I told him I was not releasing my rights to these words, and that I wanted a written, faxed, or e-mailed contract to this effect. He said he had no control over how his editors altered quotes, reworded them, or deleted credits, so we ended our discussion at this point. (No, this was not Declan.) Not that it matters. Face it, our words in print vanish without a trace, and are remembered by nobody except ourselves. --Tim May There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws.
