RE: **Contest** - Design a logo, win a prize (DE, EN, ES, FR, IT, PT)
When I started our Dream Steem book project, I agreed with @rashid001 to use one of his drawings as logo. And that's where the problems start... Like many other authors, he is no longer present here. This complicates the copyright issues and makes the intended broader presentation of ACTIVE authors questionable.

Hi @weisser-rabe , I hope you're doing well. You might remember that I told you that you could use my drawing, and from my side, there wouldn't be any copyright issues. I'm not active because all my time is spent searching for a livelihood for my family. I don't know if I'll be able to be as active as I was before.
I wish you all the best for the success of your book project.😊
Hi @rashid001. If @weisser-rabe is ok with it, I can accept your entry into contest.
Perfectly okay! May be you have the smarter vision!
@rashid001, I'll be waiting for your entry. I know they are asleep in your country at the moment, so, I'll delay the contest a further 24h. Thanks.
Hi Rashid, I'm so sorry to hear that... I mean. You're a professor... You should be able to live with your family without any worries... I wish you all the best!
Yes, you had given me the green light. However, we need a signed contract for this and also with all the authors involved. At the moment I don't know how I'm going to manage that. I'll let you know via Discord when I've got the documents together!
It might take a while before he's back. He's in need since months.☹️
Such a pity...
All the best dear friend @rashid001!
Your post gives food for thought
I wish you a day filled with love & fun
And room for engagement.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Didn't you serve him a copyright agreement immediately?
You should. I already have that part covered. At least I think I do. :)
No, I didn't. Today I know better. It also doesn't change the problem that I would like to promote active authors - who are sometimes no longer active after a few months when it comes to publication. Then I look for new ones for a compilation and bang: same problem after a few weeks. The fluctuation and lack of commitment here is in the nature of things, but so far it's knocking my socks off. But forget it ;-)) I become dissatisfied when my plans don't work. It doesn't last and it doesn't change the plan ;-))
Well... I imagine it to be very slippery stair, when you have to trust on so many people in order to succeed. Let's see if I can overcome that fluctuation, of if I just have to publish myself... :D lol
He answered so your logo problem is solved.
Who are the writers no longer active? Does it matter for a Dream Steem book?

No Kitty, that doesn't solve anything. I or the publisher need a signed partnership agreement from each included author, illustrator, photographer etc., in which all copyrights are precisely defined and also the shares in the royalties. And yes, I would like to realise this in Germany, despite these complications.
Who are those writers? Did they do the same with the former Steemit books?
I've published a list of the choosen authors for first edition in October... The former Steemit books were more like from one self publishing person. Content from other writers was not legally declared.
I tried to find that list but couldn't do you have a link I might have some info for you.
With pleasure:
