    Hi all. I hope this is posted in the right forum.
    I have a friend that produces original, historic content (memories) for a local newspaper column. It is well read and a few people have expressed a desire to re-publish his stories in book format.
    I am concerned that the author would always own this content/memories/.
    Can anyone tell me how I can protect, indeed if I can protect this content.
    I don't want to make money off my friends great memories. I just want to ensure that no other people do either.

    1. Did the newspaper pay him to write the column?

    2. Did he sign any document when the paper agreed to publish his memories?

    3. Whether he was or was not paid for the articles, did he ever point out or assert to the paper that he retained copyright in the works?
