Abstract
An Ohm-Rush algebra is called *McCoy* if for any zero-divisor in , its content has nonzero annihilator in , because McCoy proved this when . We answer a question of Nasehpour by giving an example of a faithfully flat Ohm-Rush algebra with the McCoy property that is not a weak content algebra. However, we show that a faithfully flat Ohm-Rush algebra is a weak content algebra iff is McCoy for all radical (resp. prime) ideals of . When is Noetherian (or has the more general \emph{fidel (A)} property), we show that it is equivalent that is McCoy for all ideals.
