[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8881387, member: 67338"] maybe I am no lawyer (I need a hot key for that this weekkend) but I know that if a lawyer can make a solid argument (And we have seen on this very board some can) they can win. Again it comes down to who has a better legal team, and my money is on Hasbro. If I were running Piazo,, or advising them as accountant, I would say "Lets run the numbers what it would cost us to litigate this in theory for 1 year and for 2 years. Then we send the person WotC likes best with terms of how WE want a special contract for 5 or 10 years to keep useing pathfinder d20 ect... we will pay X now report income and 2% over that $750k. We start with X being half what it would cost to be in court for a year and if they negotiate we give as little as we can but cap at 5% over the $750 and Y now... where Y is half way between 1 year and 2 year forcast" [/QUOTE]
