US Appeals Court rules that three major publishers, including The New York Times Co, cannot include work of freelance contributors in electronic data bases without their permission; unanimous ruling overturns lower court finding that agreed with arguments of New York Times, Newsday and Time Inc Magazine Co and their co-plaintiffs, University Microfilms International and Mead Data Central Corp, former owner of Lexis-Nexis data bases; publishers argued that electronic data bases like Nexis are analogous to anthologies or other 'collective works' that can be revised without permission of individual copyright holders; appeals panel says 'the privilege afforded authors of collective works' under existing law 'does not permit the publishers to license individually copyright works for inclusion in electronic data bases'; ruling comes as on-line publishing is exploding and many publications expand and rely on freelance contributors to supplement work of their regular staff; it could force companies to offer retroactive electronic-rights payments for opinion pieces, full-length magazine articles, photographs and graphics; it could force publishers to pull from their data bases any freelance work covered by ruling; recent work is less likely to be subject to ruling, since number of media companies, including The New York Times, have for several years required freelancers to sign contracts that allow electronic reproduction of work without additional compensation; E Leonard Rubin, head of intellectual property section of Chicago law firm Gordon & Glickson, says impact of decision could be 'devastating'; George Freeman, assistant general counsel for The New York Times Co, says in case of New York Times, 'our complete record is historical archive; if one takes this decision at its word it would seem to require, absent an agreement with freelancers, that we delete articles that were part of that historical record'; adds 'opinion's effect appears to be tampering with the historic record'; Jonathan Tasini, president of National Writers' Union and lead plaintiff, praises decision that overturns ruling by Federal District Judge Sonia Sotomayor; Chief Judge Ralph K Winter writes ruling (M)
