[QUOTE="NotAYakk, post: 8133210, member: 72555"] The English version was the WotC product. If they approved the GF9 translatiom based on the WotC product, that isn't "approving a translation". Regardless, the similarity of this lawsuit has nothing to do with the previous products. It has to do with the claims made about WotC's planned response. Say "old products are garbage" and get them to fix it to tge limits.of the contract. Claim breach of contract and terminate contract. Those are all not what GF9 or the Dragonlance are claiming WotC is doing. Instead, they are claiming WotC is bypassing the contract termination clauses, not terminating the contract, and turning their right to QA future product into an effective one sided termination [I]without using the termination clauses negotiated[/I] or claiming material breach. It is that claimed similarity that is being highlighted by myself and others. I am not assuming "they knew what they where doing when they approved the translations" at all. I am claiming they approved the translations. That is all. If the books read "word word word end of sentence." in non-English repeatedly, my position on tge similarity of WotC 's actions with GF9 and Dragonlance case wouldn't change. My position has [B]nothing to do[/B] with the quality of GF9's past product. Regardless of the quality of GF9 past product, using the "I have QA rights" part of a contract to bypass the termination clauses is what I am talking about. Both claim that WotC told them "regardless of the quality of your future submissions, we automatically reject them, don't bother sending more". Everything else is noise. [/QUOTE]
