Zilch, zip, nadda. If that's all you have as the basis for your opinion, then I would suggest reviewing the situation a little closer. Lorraine Williams was only out for her own agenda and didn't have a lick of business sense.As for any "erotic controversy", I think any such issue has been resolved by the wording in section 7 of the GSL. The business sense in that situation comes when they don't want RPG's, or at least d20 and D&D, to be automatically associated with such a narrow market as erotica. When you get a stigma like that, it's pretty hard to live it down. There's a reason why so few pron stars break into the legitimate acting world. Their battles over the subject seem warranted. They may have even known that they couldn't win, but just making their separation from erotica public, they made a good business decision. Winning the case wasn't likely their goal. Publicly divorcing themselves from the erotica industry was the most likely goal.Look, associating WOTC with a competitor that they bought out, and with a case that was perfectly justified morally and monetarily, are non-existent reasons for accusing WOTC of bad business motives. Neither one of them has anything to do with anything regarding that issue.If they're in-house lawyers, then they're trembling. There's no one in the company that's not trembling right now. If they're outsourced, then losing a corporate client is no small deal.</blockquote>
