First this is Hasbro, a company with deeper pockets, better lawyers and more impressive PR than TSR. Second, the laws for intellectual property lean heavily towards the company these last few years. THere will be some backlash, but if the product is considerably better and consistant more so than the stuff out there, that backlash will soon fade. Again, I use Magic the GAthering as an example. If you would have told me five years ago that WOTC would be able to get people to buy and play with virtual cards online and it would be successful, I'd have thought you were joking. If you would have told me that they would shut down popular programs like apprentice and Magic:Keep and still keep a large portion of their fanbase, I'd have thought you were ludicrous. Oddly enough it may be the success of Magic: ONline that is propelling the integration of the internet content and published material.</blockquote>
