[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 7797682, member: 58197"] This whole thing seems to me like one guy who got a bug up his butt and has just enough knowledge of copyright law to get himself into trouble. I'll be surprised if this ever sees the inside of a courtroom. As for Hasbro, we all like to dump on big corporations, but they've seemed generally willing to let WotC run their own show as long as the money keeps coming in, which it is. The most they've interfered was when they told Wizards in the run-up to 4E that the D&D division needed to show more of a profit--and given the size of their staff back then, Hasbro had a point. Even then, they didn't tell WotC how to go about juicing profits, just told them it needed to happen. And since 5E came out, they surely have nothing to complain of in that regard. If they didn't go after Paizo over Pathfinder--which looked like a real threat to D&D for a while there--I don't see them changing their approach over one rather mundane case of copyright infringement. The lawyers can handle it. [/QUOTE]
