[QUOTE="johnsemlak, post: 2055831, member: 7233"] Well, some people think the old ads are the coolest thign about the Dragon CDROM :) I AM NOT A LAWYER, and I know little about the publishing industry, but as I understand one of the key issues is whether or not the PDFs can be considered 'reprints'. If they are considered 'reprints', that is, rereleased versions of exactly the same product that was originally released, there are far fewer rights issues. I assume a reprint would have to include all ads exactly as they originally appeared. If the magazine were reformatted in any way, it could not be considered a reprint, and the publisher would have to contact any author who retained the rights to something that was in the magazine(s). Anyway, thats how I understand it, though I could be way off. In any case, I suppose ultimately WotC did not satisfactorily convince everyone that the Dragon Magazine CD ROM was a collection of 'reprints', rather than new product re-using old IP. [/QUOTE]
