[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 651088, member: 4937"] seasong: I'm not sure how you think you've insulted me. Nothing you said was offensive, and it seems like reasonable criticism unless I mistake your intent entirely. No, but, if I did want someone to in the reproduction white out the part that had been mine in the mural, would it be my right? As I said, I don't think it likely that many players would mind if thier work was reproduced, but if they did mind - can I say "Well because it is silly or stupid to mind me reproducing your work I'm going to do it anyway." More to the point, the above continuation of the analogy is a somewhat rarer case. Most campaigns do not end up reproduced or published in some other form. The case at hand doesn't really have to do reproducing a whole work and its content as cleanly as possible, but rather whether the other people who have worked on the mural have the right at some latter point to repaint the whole of the mural without consulting the one painter on how he might like his portion represented - if it all. If he wants to say 'Simply leave out my portion. Don't take up my themes and work them to your desires, because they are mine', then I think he is perfectly right in doing so. If he wants to say, 'Set aside my portion in case I wish to come and work on it myself at a latter point', then that sounds perfectly right to me as well. It is not like we have a shortage of 'blank canvas' as it were. This isn't a hypothetical problem with me, since at least three members of the longest campaign I was involved in are or would like to be published writers and some consider the material of the campaign a fertile ground for ideas.
