[QUOTE="Doctor Futurity, post: 6390938, member: 10738"] I see he's still up to no good. Unfortunately a search for Outlaw Press brings his site up, again, and I notice that he's got all of my books back up for sale --again-- that he is not authorized to print or sell, and which he agreed to take down in discussions when this first boiled to the surface back in 2008ish; and lots more....in fact I am arguably among the least of his victims. Some of the books I had effectively donated to his cause back when it looked legit in the early 00's since they were reprints of articles and adventures for T&T from my old 80's fanzine, and I only requested copies as payment since (at the time and still today to be honest) I saw no point in trying to profit on old T&T content from ages past. But then stuff I had not authorized started appearing...and the whole thing blew up with the revelation of his unauthorized use of art and content in early 2008 (iirc) when he set up an account with onebookshelf and started posting product for sale at rpgnow. This opened it up to wider exposure than before, and almost immediately people started recognizing pirated work. Jim is weirdly fixated on T&T, and will pirate anything for his own use and sale that is T&T connected or can be forced to connect to T&T (I recall one of his books was actually content from an old issue of Dragon Magazine retooled for T&T, for example). The art is a bigger issue, however, as he clearly takes what he wants without regard or interest in the source, and uses the talent of others to make a profit off of them. For a guy so fixated on T&T, he's taken great pains to destroy the game's community and take advantage of the fact that it's such a small niche community and no one is able to defend themselves from his predation of their works. Although I have bigger things in life to worry about, I do periodically entertain a fantasy of picking up some equipment and paying Jim a visit. Luckily for him I have a family to worry about and a strong sense of right and wrong....unlike Jim.....but one day I imagine he might finally step on the wrong person and learn a very painful lesson for it.
