[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8917583, member: 67338"] on the internet alone (no IRL) I have seen both takes, with slightly more siding on the WotC can't win side... BUT there is a large middle ground were someone on one side or the other admits it could go either way. Now In Real Life the few lawyers I know (most non gamers) have all told me that without serious research the best they can say is it depends on how well the arguments go, and that a BIG IF it actually makes it to trail. Much like the few fields I know in real life, I find that people online like to over simplify these things and try to present 'black and white facts' when it is really 'shades of grey nuanced' the thing is, that a dubious loophole is pretty much what EVERYONE says this is... but being a loophole doesn't mean it wont work. We must (and anyone fronting money to take this to court especially must) prepare ourselves that WotC/Hasbro may win. this... 100% this. There is no such thing as an unbreakable chain, or unpickable lock. There is no such thing as a unbreachable armor there is no such thing as forever contract once someone TRIES to break it. There are touch chains, there are locks that take a long time to pick, there are armors that are super tough and there are contracts built to last... however no one designing ANY of them can EVER truly predict how things will change 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, 50 years, 100 years later. this also... if anything we know that WotC is acting like a bully [/QUOTE]
