Changes on eHow

I was disappointed today to receive an email from eHow saying they will no longer allow publishing of articles from their website. Instead, they are insisting that all new content on eHow will be generated by Demand Studios and encouraging us to apply as freelance writers. Here's the catch: Demand Media owns all content you submit. It's a big change. eHow's own Terms clearly state that you retain all rights to your content, including the right to republish on multiple sites. The FAQs page eHow has put up about the transition says that you can republish elsewhere if you have suggested the title yourself, but this is not what the Contributors Agreement says on the Demand Studios site. While eHow has always been a good source of shares revenue for my articles, I can no longer advise anyone to publish content on this site. I, personally, will not be applying to write for Demand Studios and will start looking for some other sites that pay for content.
