Universal ang Copyright
Ayon sa Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 27:2)
Lahat ay may karapatan na mabigyang-proteksiyon ang kapakanang moral at materyal bunga ng alinmang produksiyong pang-agham, pampanitikan, o pansining na siya ang may-akda.
Ang human rights ay universal. Ibig sabihin, lahat ng tao sa lahat ng sulok ng mundo ay pantay-pantay, may angking dignidad, may laya, at may mga karapatan.
Dahil universal ito, lahat ng gobyerno ay may tungkulin na ipatupad ito sa kanilang mga bansa at i-promote ang pag-aaral at pagrespeto sa mga ito.
Paano ang copyright? Wala naman ang salitang ito sa UDHR.
Totoong wala ang salitang copyright sa UDHR dahil ito ay isang legal term o salitang nilikha para madaling maintindihan ang batas. Pero nakapaloob sa Artikulo 27.2 ang laman ng copyright.
Ano ang copyright? Ito ay ang karapatan ng mga may-akda na mabigyang-proyeksiyon ang kanilang mga kapakanang moral at materyal.
Saan nagmumula ang mga kapakanang moral at materyal? Ito ang bunga ng mga produksiyong (gawa o akda) pang-agham, pampanitikan, o pansining.
Kapakanang moral? E, ano naman ang implication nito? Ibig sabihin ang may-akda, ay may moral na kapakanan sa isinulat niyang nobela. Siya lang ang may karapatang magsabi kung pangalan nga niya ang ilalagay bilang tagapaglikha ng akda. Puwede rin siyang gumamit ng pen name, kung gugustuhin niya. Walang puwedeng magdesisyon tungkol dito kundi ang may-akda.
Kapakanang materyal? E, ano naman ito? Ibig sabihin, ang may-akda lang ang may karapatan sa kikitain mula sa kanyang nobela. Dahil siya ang may karapatan, nasa kanya rin ang kapangyarihan na ilipat ito sa publisher para i-publish ang nobela niya. At ang kasunduan ng may-akda at publisher ay nagiging formal sa pagpirma nila sa isang kontrata. Sa kontrata nakasaad kung papaano ang hatian ng royalty, mga future version o anyo ng nobela at marami pang iba.
Ganito rin ang siste para sa mga nagsulat ng librong pang-agham, o sa taong nagpinta ng landscape, o sa taong nag-sculpture sa marmol.
At dahil kasali sa UDHR ang kapakanang moral at materyal ng may-akda o copyright, ito ay universal din tulad ng human rights.
Ibig sabihin, lahat ng may-akda sa lahat ng sulok na mundo ay pantay-pantay, may angking dignidad, may laya at may mga karapatan. Hindi puwedeng ang mga Pinoy author lang ang bibigyang-proteksiyon ng gobyerno sa Pilipinas. Dapat lahat ng mga author.
Ganito rin ang siste sa ibang bansa tulad ng Singapore, Japan, o United Kingdom. Hindi puwedeng ang mga Singaporean, Japanese o British author lang ang bibigyang-proteksiyon ng kanilang gobyerno. Dapat lahat ng authors.
Hindi saklaw ng border o national boundaries ang human rights at copyright. Kasi nga universal ang human rights. Kasi nga universal din ang copyright.
Inaanyayahan ang mga awtor, publisher, o tagapagmana ng copyright na sumali sa FILCOLS. Ito’y para mabigyang proteksiyon ang kanilang mga akda. Kailangan lamang ay mayroon kayong published works kung kayo ay awtor/publisher o nasa inyo ang kapangyarihang magmanage kung heirs kayo ng awtor. Wala pong membership fee. Kung may tanong hinggil sa tinalakay na paksa, mag-email lamang sa filcols@gmail.com.
FILCOLS is the collective management organization (CMO) officially accredited by the government through IP Philippines to collectively administer, license, and enforce the right of reproduction of authors, publishers, and other right holders in the text and image sector. FILCOLS is a member of the Brussels-based International Federation of Reproduction Rights Organizations (http://www.ifrro.org/).

Flipside Publishing Call for Submission
Submission Guidelines
Flipside Novel Submission Guidelines
You can email your submissions to publisher@flipsidecontent.com. However, before you submit, read the guidelines below.
How to Submit
Email us at the above address.
In your subject line, indicate if it is for Flipside Flames, Flipside Flavors, or FSSF.
Please follow our General Requirements.
We prefer submissions from Asian authors but submissions are open to anyone.
In the body of your email, include your name, contact information, and a brief author bio.
See below for specific requirements unique to the imprint (Romance, Erotica, or Speculative Fiction) you are submitting to.
We do not accept simultaneous submissions.
General Requirements
Submissions must be in English.
Submissions should be in Manuscript Format.
We accept RTF and DOC files. Do not submit in any other file format.
In your submission, please include your query letter, a one-page synopsis of your novel, and the first three chapters of your book. Do not send us the entire manuscript.
The book need not be complete when you make your initial submission but should be complete before we finalize acceptance.
All material must be the author’s own original work and s/he must own the electronic publishing rights.
We accept reprints.
Flipside FLAMES (Romance)
We’re looking for single-title romance novels with a substantial storyline that focuses on the fantasy of true love. The story must feature and develop a central romantic relationship between two complex characters. These characters do not have to end up together by the close of the story, but the novel has to end on an optimistic and emotionally satisfying note. Sex is okay but we prefer that it be hinted at rather than described. No graphic or vulgar description, please—we prefer sexual spark from emotional close-ups and subtle but meaningful gestures rather than from detailed accounts of penetration. The conquest here is not for the climax but for the heart.
Works should have a length of 25,000 – 30,000 words. We are looking for Contemporary Romance (CR), Historical Romance (HR), and Paranormal Romance (PNR) novels. For a clearer definition of these subgenres, you can check the definitions presented in the Romance Writers of America website.
Flipside FLAVORS (Erotica)
We’re looking for single-title erotic novels with well-drawn characters and a substantial storyline that focuses on sexual desire and dynamics. We recognize the wild complexity of the erotic imagination and welcome the relation of various kinks, but they must turn us on, not gross us out. We want sex—lots of it, in fact—but not sex for sex’s sake. We seek sensuality—vivid description and psychosexual insight are appreciated; mechanical accounts listing positions, the number of repetitions, sequence, and the various euphemisms for the word “cock,” not so much.
Works should have a length of 25,000 – 30,000 words. We are open to erotica that caters to men, women, and/or LGBT.
FSSF (Flipside SpecFic)
We’re looking for novels that contain strong elements or sensibilities of science fiction, fantasy, horror, magic realism, alternate history, folklore, superheroes, slipstream, or related nonrealist genres and subgenres. We welcome both traditional narratives and works that play with form. While we appreciate literary and philosophical depth, formal inventiveness, and social critique, we do not want to be bored, boggled beyond cognition, or preached to.
Works should have a length of 40,000 – 60,000 words.
Compensation and Rights
We offer a PhP10,000 (roughly US$240.00) advance against royalties for works we accept.
We claim exclusive, first, world electronic publishing rights for seven years, subject to renewal.
Further details about compensation and rights will be included in the contract.
