5. Things get dicey with free lance authors, though.

Originally, they lost all rights when a publication bought an article. Then, they negotiated for, and got, a "one time publication" rule, such that the price they received covered only a one time publication, not the entire life of an article.

So, what happens if an author sells a story to the Times for one time publication, then the story shows up on the internet? Maybe the NYT will just stop buying articles from free lancers? (Here, I am thinking more of the daily and Sunday magazine type sections, more than the news pages.)
