But, maybe they did, doesn't matter in regards to the lawsuit. What good does walking away do? It solves the problem that they have. In the simplest and least harmful manner. If 10+% of the MtG judges actively join in the suit, and support it, then I will believe that maybe a suit was the right approach. Maybe.As for the boy who introduced you. He shouldn't know the rules, he's not an adult. That's why his parents are responsible. They are the ones that should know, and are ethically and legally responsible for his actions (and what they allow him to get involved in).Even if they don't win WotC will probably change the way things are run. And I'm not convinced that is going to help the community, the players, or the judges. Who says WotC is going to start hiring or paying people? Maybe they will just walk away from official tournaments. So it's not a win-win, because their are many options that just the ones you want to happen.As for a precedent. Maybe, maybe not. I'm not a lawyer and don't care to pretend to be one. Unpaid interns already have their precedence, and most unpaid internships have already changed. That's a good thing. NCAA student athletes are already addressing this issue, legally and otherwise. I doubt this lawsuit will impact those. And, I don't see this issue on the same ethical grounds as the ones you mention.</blockquote>
