[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 5612939, member: 10479"] :D I am curious, too. :D I doesn't seem to rise to the level where switching is warranted or prudent. Looked upon as a single incident, where we have not seen the problem ourselves and the details are largely unknown, it doesn't seem shocking but when you clump them in with the companies you first professed were similar, then suddenly it seems amazingly shocking. Neither of us having seen it, and given the lack of frequency with which this occurs from Paizo, it seems safer to assume that someone overstepped usage boundaries and was asked to C&D. Given Paizo's track record and openness to fan policies and publisher IP usage licensing, coupled with your having not seen the actual site nor even read the policy or licensing, I have to wonder why you would make the leap toward equating one C&D letter in the history of Paizo to companies that were notorious for legal action (rightly or wrongly) against fans. Or make a good one using clearly legal means. ;) [/QUOTE]
