[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8364295, member: 22779"] What money are you making from your DM? What profit are you making? Is your DM producing something that you could turn around and sell later? So, if nothing of marketable value is being received or transferred in any way, how can it be considered exploitation? I'm actually getting more and more confused the longer this thread goes on. Apparently questioning basic assumptions is bad, because I'm too stupid to understand the answer, and now people are pointing to situations which are not even remotely equivalent like how WotC was apparently exploiting people by allowing people to use their intellectual property without paying for it and creating things and then even allowing those people to turn around and sell these things to other people without taking any payment of any kind. But, that's exploitation? Now, apparently a DM is being exploited somehow. No money is changing hands. Nothing is being produced that could be resold. I suppose if you were video taping the sessions and then selling them to other people, that might be considered exploitation. :erm: [/QUOTE]
