[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5404981, member: 19675"] Even as someone who vastly prefers 3.X, as an Entertainment lawyer, I can assure you that "pettiness" is not the #1 reason for this move- its a legitimate business decision. That is immaterial. Yes they were- one right is the ability to control access to the property in the market. If you do not enforce your rights against "open and notorious" infringers, it is possible to lose your ability to defend against others. I agree that it's not the best PR, but sometimes you have to take a PR hit to do what is best for your fundamental interests ; If WotC does not enforce it's rights against CK, it could lose it's ability to enforce those same rights if they go after the torrent sites, etc. - All we can do on that point is speculate. Nah, they still have the right and duty, the statute of limitations hasn't run yet. [/QUOTE]
