[QUOTE="joethelawyer, post: 4694929, member: 55764"] No need to feel bad man. I don't take it personally. Like I said, and I think you would agree, my take on the legal provisions was accurate. My take on what MAY logically happen based on those provisions is accurate. No lawyer would disagree with me there, I don't think. Where we differ is in our opinions of the business decisions to make based on that reading of the contractual provisions. The bottom line is, as I stated, you have a working knowledge of the industry and I do not. Also, most importantly, I have no skin in the game. You do. And green skin at that. How you or anyone else chooses to weigh the risks vs. rewards of the contractual terms is a business decision, not a legal one. I only pointed out the legal terms and gave a plain language interpretation of the powers it gives WOTC. We differ in our business analysis. If lawyers didn't have different opinions on things there would be no need for lawyers. :) edit--I just wanted to add that I am glad you feel comfortable enough to publish material for 4e. While don't play or like 4e, I think the D&D brand brings more people into the hobby than probably all other brands combined. While I don't have much need for new players in my game, based on my brother and sister-in-law's insane reproductive abilities, I do love the tabletop RPG hobby. So I wish 4e all the success it can get. Your support can only help that. [/QUOTE]
