Having been an author for Amazing, AmigaWorld, and Compute! Amiga, among other Amiga magazines, I don't think I have ANY rights to articles I've written.  The copyright, if there still is one, is held by the companies in question.  In fact, I've found some old Compute! reviews are already on the web.  I have no conrol over the republishing of my works since most all of these companies had a contract which pulled those rights.  That, and given the age of the articles, leads me to wonder why anyone would really care why these end up in an archive on the web.  

Heck, I don't even have copies of most of the stuff I've written about the Amiga....although I keep finding my GENIE article on the 1992 Amiga show in Pasadena on 3 or 4 websites!
