Now, how will the authors know that their works will be used for the said purpose? That they won't be put in the dark on the long run and all those common scams?

Several people have approached me here to let them use my work for one reason or the other. After that, they ran away doing things with the works. I laid my hand on another anthology where 4 of my poems were published without acknowledging me.

I think a more credible source posted here will do. I mean a source that can lead to someone or an organisation to be sued if anything goes wrong.
