[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 3682469, member: 2067"] So you agree, that it's a shady dealing that is going to take advantage of hundreds of fans who won't get compensated for their hard work. You just don't think that WotC *should* compensate people for their hard work, right? Y'know, that actually supports my argument against Kem even better than my own argument. ;) If true, WotC doesn't NEED any protection against fans who come up with the same idea that they do, and the ToS for Gleemax effectively amounts to them blatantly admitting to be taking your stuff for their own use and giving you nothing for it (though letting you retain the ability to publish it other places...which, IMO, is of extremely dubious benefit). Which basically means that Kem's argument that WotC needs to be able to use people's stuff for free or they'll be in trouble is....bunk. I'm fairly neutral on the Gleemax idea, but what I don't like is the idea that by putting something on Gleemax, I'm basically donating it for free to WotC. If they're going to profit off of my work, I should profit off of it, too. [/QUOTE]
