Hi everyone,

Since Part IV of this discussion has reached 50 pages we've closed it and opened this thread to continue the discussion. You can find Part I, Part II and Part III at the links just provided. You'll also find a thread titled "The Impact of this suit on Fandom" thread here.

We do ask that we all remember to remain calm, and fair in our discussion of this topic. We understand that this is a sensitive topic and just ask that before you post you look at your words with the eyes of an outsider.

Thanks everyone wizard.gif

I second Hinoema's post....I'd never heard of the Bloom's Taxonomy, and I found it very interesting.

And I don't know if anyone's done this yet, but have any of the lawyers out there took a look at the actual cases that RDR cited in their response to see how relevant they are to this? I remember one particular lawyer (and, I'm sorry I don't remember who that was) saying that they thought RDR had a chance after reading the response and I wondered if that was based off the cases they cited or their argument re: Fair Use. The only cases that I actually looked up were the ones about the Seinfeld book (disallowed) and then the parody book of Gone with the Wind (which was allowed, but the authors had to pay damages to the Mitchell estate).

And Happy Valentine's Day, everyone...love thy neighbor and all that, right? heart.gif
