[QUOTE="Christoph the Magus, post: 3100990, member: 1480"] Someone else already the Kenzerco issue with the Dragon CD, but I thought that it was worth bringing up again, since it clearly demonstrates that WOTC has been sloppy with legal issues in the past. In that case, Kenzerco had a stipulation in their contract that the comics created for the magazine could not be used for any electronic products, but WOTC put the comics in the Dragon CD anyway. The end result was that Kenzerco received a D&D license and that's why they're the only d20 publisher (besides WOTC itself) that can put "Dungeons and Dragons" on top of their books. I find it hard to believe that this was the only mistake that was made througout WOTC's tenure as the the publishers of D&D. It just happened to be the one that they got called on, in large part because one of the founders of Kenzerco is a lawyer. Other authors don't have that kind of background to help guide them through these types of issues. I for one hope that any effected writers/illustrators/etc get everything that is due to them.
