[QUOTE="Kobold Boots, post: 7300262, member: 92239"] I don't think I've seen this directly stated so I'll chime in. You are free to create and sell your own stuff if you write it and you draw it. It's yours. If you're redistributing other people's stuff and giving credit where it's due there's the social stigma and the legal stigma. Legally 1. If you give credit where it's due 2. If you're not selling the work and getting a profit 3. If you're not competing with or effecting sales of the author's original product 4. It's generally not an IP violation (as some have said) You won't get sued and it's up to how nice people want to be with each other. Transitioning to social stigma, people are going to snipe and start Internet sillyness any time someone does something, especially if it's easy to snipe at and they can hide behind the morality argument. Only way to get beyond that is to consistently put out quality stuff over a long period of time and let the people who support you drown out the snipers as their population grows. Any aspiring publisher has run into fair use issues, intentionally or not during their journey. Good stuff in the packet BTW. Hope it's the start of positive notoriety for you. KB [/QUOTE]
