[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4036726, member: 22779"] But, doesn't that pose a problem with your point. After all, they were quite capable of claiming other people's IP before Gleemax. Since it's very, very unlikely that any of the people who's IP they are going to gank are going to post on Gleemax, it doesn't really change anything. If I were to post a writeup about the Tarthenol - a four hearted half giant from Steven Erikson's Malazan series, on Gleemax, they could not use it. I don't have the right to post that. Since it's an open forum, everyone pretty much knows that there are going to be posts that step all over other people's IP. Heck, how many posts do we see here talking about this or that monster without a OGL in sight? I've seen entire adventures posted, complete with monster stats posted here without including an OGL. That's 100% violating copyright. It happens all the time. WOTC would have to be monumentally stupid to simply saunter into the forums, look at something and then publish it, regardless of what the TOU says. I'll buy a lot of things about WOTC, but, blindingly stupid usually isn't one of them. [/QUOTE]
