[QUOTE="Orcus, post: 3792353, member: 1254"] Actually, if you are a US company and you create and distribute products in the US then US law is relevant to you in that you would be sued in the US by a US corporation named Wizards of the Coast. Granted, there may in the end be a choice of law issue. And international questions of copyright will likely arise. And your case may be removed to federal court. There are all sorts of issues. But the fact that the source OSRIC document was created by a company or person in another country does not provide an unassailable shield for domestic companies who choose to use it and its contents and refeer to it on their products that they either create or distribute here. So this idea that "hey, I'm not in the US none of this applies to me" is a dangerous idea. because we arent only talking about your creation of OSRIC we are also talking about other people's use of it. US law will very much be relevant to them. Clark [/QUOTE]
