I answered the question you posted. If that was not your question, you need to reword your question.

A writing item first published on this web site or any other website may allow this latter the right to own it.

This looks like pretty much the same question again. It is actually two questions:

A writing item first published on this web site may allow this latter the right to own it.

This is FALSE.

Writing.Com is not a publisher and is not interested in owning your work.

The site's User Agreement:

When you delete that content, that display right given to WDC ends.

You are free, and encouraged, to sell your work to others, publish it with others or do whatever you wish! By posting to Writing.Com, you grant us non-exclusive rights to display and store your work on our site. In order for us to show your work to other people who may visit our site, we require these rights. Non-exclusive means that you may give these same rights to anyone else as well; for money or for free!

The rights required by Writing.Com are NOT first publication rights.

As I said before, whether you can sell those first publication rights to your work after posting it here is up to the policies and opinions of the publisher who might be interested in buying such rights. Writing.Com has no control over the policies and opinions of other companies.


A writing item first published on any other website may allow this latter the right to own it.

This may be true or false, depending on the user agreement of the particular website.

OTHER sites where you can post your work set their own user agreements, which can be different, and may give that site the copyright ownership of your work.


Questions about other sites are off topic for this site's support forums. If you have questions about other sites or about publishers, you should address your questions to them.






Hope that helps.
