I think it's a lot more about control of the IP than searching cushions.

Cap and sunglasses just to be sure. Maybe a fake beard.

Now Hasbro PIs are staking out every public library in Seattle.

I don't see how it makes any sense as a negotiating tactic. Consider two alternatives: 1. WotC shares the draft of 1.1 and says, "We're deauthorizing 1.0a and you will like it." Third parties say, "This sucks" and leak the document, leading to public backlash against WotC. So WotC says, "Fine...

The legal case for revocability of 1.0a is weak, it would ultimately have to be decided in court, WotC can bully.

Even then, an antitrust suit seems like a sure loser. Right on.

Landshark!

Oh, fair, it's probably just wishful thinking that they've been coming from inside WotC.
