[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8917634, member: 6879661"] Because that clause is their best protection when in 15 years WotC releases a paranormal 7e book which has some passing similarities to your Paranormal Power despite the writer never having seen your book. Though you decide to sue and just defending themselves costs them $10k irrespective of the size of your product or whether you are right. It’s a common and water tight protection against an otherwise substantial risk when you open up your work to thousands of creators or buy simple coincidence my create a similar product. They have had this right in place in the DM Guild license for years now. Can you point me to a single instance where WotC has taken a creators work and published it themselves without paying for it and attributation? I judge people on what they do, not on what they might do. [/QUOTE]
