[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 5370035, member: 1129"] Highly doubt is not legal advice. It either is or is not. Are you saying this is true even if WoTC specifically states anything created with their software is theirs? Would not using the WoTC software in and of itself mean you are accepting what they are providing as law? And if not, are you willing to go to court with it? So they're not going to claim overnship but can because everyone does it? It's either one of the other no? Yes, because in America corporations never have copyright laws extended or changed directly benefiting them. There are no so called 'Mickey Mouse' Laws. Ys indeedy. In addition, since YOU personally cannot see the data, I don't think the common user is worried about the other common users who cannot see their data, unless WoTC screws that part up and accounts are vastly easy to hack, but rather, with data harvesting, they can do a variety of things. Doesn't this point with #2 collide a little? The companies, thousands of them by your numbers, are so stupid that they can't legally protect themselves eh? Yeah, it would be like Music Companies suing people who illegally download files... oh wait... It would be like WoTC suing people who've illegally uploaded PDFs... oh wait... it would be like WoTC taking down PDFs oh wait.... If you have some actual legal links of boilerplate failing, I would seriously like to review them. Otherwise from my, and it is limited, understanding, you are entering a contract by using WoTC software, like you are with any software, and putting you head in the lion's mouth. For the vast majority of people, this won't matter one bit. For some, it will. Now if WoTc comes out and says that they claim no ownership, well, that would be stupid because sooner or latter someone's going to make something that will be similiar to what WoTC makes and they'll find themselves on the defensive end. So either the boilerplate works, or it does not work. [/QUOTE]
