Yes! New Awareness on Publishers, Authors, Translators: Well, they're just Getting it ON:

So in Slope 20, under "Issue," then under "Whither Freedom," "The Threat of Crackdown..."--an interview by Chris Murray (hey,yeah! that's me!) of super-translators Chris Daniels, Chris Chen, and Susan Maxwell, there is an elaborated and dialogic perspective on the legal and socio-linguistic problems involved in the new U.S. embargo on many foreign texts.

So, for today, I offer up the Spring/Summer 2004 issue of Slope. but then,
here comes a response to the U.S. powers that contrived the apparent legal constraint (keeping in mind that this is not an answer in terms of resolve; it is yet a beginning, however slow) ... .

"Publishers [& Translators] and authors, along with the Association of American Publishers Professional and Scholarly Publishing division (AAP/PSP), the Association of American University Presses (AAUP), PEN American Center (PEN), and Arcade Publishing are asking the court to strike down OFAC regulations that require publishers and authors to seek a license from the government to perform the routine activities necessary to publish foreign literature from embargoed countries such as Iran, Cuba, and Sudan in the United States. Representatives of the plaintiffs' organizations expressed frustration over a series of OFAC rulings that have created uncertainty and confusion among publishers fearful of incurring prison sentences of up to 10 years or fines of up to $1,000,000 per violation. Those rulings and the regulations they interpret mandate that Americans (1) may not enter into transactions for works not yet fully completed, (2) may not provide "substantive or artistic alterations or enhancements" to the works, and (3) may not promote or market either new or previously existing works from the affected countries.

The group challenges the regulations on the grounds that they violate the Trading with the Enemy Act (TWEA), the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the First Amendment. TWEA and IEEPA were twice amended by Congress, in the Berman Amendment and the Free Trade In Ideas Amendment, to make clear that the statutes exempt transactions involving "information and informational materials" from trade embargoes. The AAP/PSP, AAUP, PEN, and Arcade contend that OFAC's regulations directly contradict the statutes that authorize trade sanctions and endanger publishers, authors and the public's constitutional rights.

"Our most basic liberties are violated when we, as publishers, have to either ask the government for permission to publish, or risk serious criminal and civil penalties if we do not obtain permission," said Marc Brodsky, chairman of the AAP/PSP and executive director of the American Institute of Physics. "How can the United States uphold our position as a beacon for the free exchange of ideas and science if we ourselves censor authors because of where they live?" Mr. Brodsky continued.

"The OFAC regulations are arbitrary and counterproductive," added PEN American Center president Salman Rushdie. "For example, OFAC says publishers are free to publish 'pre-existing' texts from these countries. Yet the countries currently under U.S. trade embargo routinely prevent important work by writers and scholars from seeing the light of day. American writers and publishers are being told that unless they get a license from OFAC, they may not work with their censored colleagues in these countries to bring their works into print."

"It is quite troubling that we will be risking criminal penalties if we proceed with the publication of The PEN Anthology of Contemporary Iranian Literature, which will present works created by Iranian writers, poets, and critics since the Iranian Revolution that expose the turmoil and repression of recent years," said Dick Seaver of Arcade Publishing. "Some of the work can't be published in Iran because of government censorship there. If publication is blocked by government interference here, what's the functional difference between Iran's censorship and ours? ... "
