[QUOTE="pantsorama, post: 8587393, member: 7033888"] You speak very confidently for someone with no grasp of how litigation works. NuTSR is actively in a lawsuit with Wotc, and are really pooping the bed. When they likely lose, any public claims about income will be used in discovery for the judgement phase, and will be open to damages rewarded. As opposed to this "fer sure real" guy on the internet who has no lawsuit with WotC or otherwise, because "that guy" is likely a fictional construct. But assuming the website is real (much more likely as this stuff pops up all the time), it is likely those who run it are not selling WotC's stuff, nor claiming it as their own copyright, nor did they sue WotC first to unfairly claim WotC's IP. Still, not cool, but I state this to contrast what this alleged website allegedly did vs. what NuTSR is actually getting sued for, and probably is gonna lose. Also - two wrongs do not make NuTSR escape responsibility for their trademark and IP theft. Besides, this kind of thing gets handled via a DMA take down and not through law suits (at least not at first). If what you allege is true, then I would wager a DMA action is probably already in progress, but I have no way of knowing since you made a random allegation with no sourcing, and no relevance to the discussion at hand. Suffice to say, these people get nuked from orbit all the time by all sorts of firms protecting their IP. Almost, but not quite, as fast as they pop up. :) In summary, your response is a complete non-sequitur, and is obviously designed as a red herring from the very real brick wall NuTSR is hurtling towards. But awesome hot take I guess. [/QUOTE]
