And this is really nothing new. It's just plain old copyright theft. The original copyright holders (those who forced Company Y to recall & destroy the book Joe Gamer is now selling as a collector's item) have the right to attempt to step in and reclaim their property. The only real difference I see is that because of the OGL, the original copyright holders actually have a greater incentive to actually step in. The book is no longer just an unauthorized text infringes on someone else's copyrights, it also includes a license that appears to convey various rights concerning those copyrights. alec __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
