Luckily Gone to Ground hasn't been targeted with a C&D, so for the time being it's business as usual. Thanks for the follow-up comment, and for the original post - I try to do my research, but it's nice to hear that someone with professional credentials shares my thoughts on the matter. Thanks Jay,

Thanks for the follow-up comment, and for the original post – I try to do my research, but it’s nice to hear that someone with professional credentials shares my thoughts on the matter.

I re-read your blog and I did indeed mis-characterize your blog's intent. That's what I like about Wordpress is you can see everyone that's referencing your site and follow up if there's someone who doesn't understand your own posting. I re-read the posting and realized the GW discussion (which was very informed and thoughtful, by the way) wasn't properly attributed. As you can tell from the title of my own blog, I'm for the individual blogger or gamer having as much rights as they possibly can. I read and re-read the post, and I still cannot see how GW profits from all this dissension. If they can protect their legitimate rights while applauding and assisting those who admire their creations, that would probably be the best course. As you've no doubt guessed, though, being a lawyer I'm not going to take sides in an ongoing dispute (unless I'm being paid to take sides). Finally, good luck on what you're doing.

It has nothing to do with the copyright issues, and although GW's recent activity has given me a lot to think about regarding IP, I plan on keeping Gone to Ground going.
