[QUOTE="JohnRTroy, post: 1500637, member: 2732"] Before I go on, I just want to correct one thing. Regarding the "Section 7" violation, I wasn't getting into specific OGL licensing issues, thus my example was a mistake. My point was not to have the product reference the example directly, but to show an example--I think producing complementary products is a lot better than strip-mining and compling data for books. Please prove that I have been abusive. Did I target a specific individual? Did I find a specific instance of an Unearthed Arcana violation and call that individual a bad person? Did you ever hear the term "love the sinner, hate the sin"? That's pretty much what I was doing. (And no, I am not saying that people are committing sins). I am specifically targeting anybody who dumps entire published content online without either adding some value to it, and who doesn't care about being nice to the companies or creators who provide these rules, but just wants to get stuff free. So far, I haven't seen anybody fall into that category. Perhaps that is "subjective morality", but you'd find a lot of others might agree with it. I can disdain the attitude of "well, it's legal, so there's nothing wrong with it", and call that attitude a little short-sided. "Pompous and Pretenious Attitude?" Funny, I could turn around and see the same thoughts from others here, just on the other side. I did correct my notions of moral and ethical items since it casues such a harsh reaction, but in a debate you're going to get some condemnation if you have a strong opinion. [/QUOTE]
