Hmmm, so should there be a Graal.Net thrift-shop/dumpster, where people can root through stuff submitted by the last staffers of dead PWs? Should content-producers maintain ownership of what they made, regardless of the will of the PW owner? That's shades of old Orange Eyes, He Who Must Not Be Named - "Use any of my materials and I'll sue!" Should we assume that anyone submitting material to a PW agrees to a nonexclusive irrevocable copyright - You can't tell the PW not to use it, but the PW can't tell you not to share it? Really, if (random example, I don't like using "Mr. A and Mr. B" examples) Zero33 submits a truly awesome head to G2K1, then the Delteria people ask him if they can use it - he says yes, G2K1 says no - should he or shouldn't he be able to share it?
Likewise, if Com013 works on a dying server (we'll call it Tyranus), makes a bunch of levels, then there's a conflagration of admins and that specific server dies, should he be able to open a clone under a different administration? Should he be allowed to upload it to Graal.net for others to revive?
I might be overthinking this one, but I'd hate to see Good content go to rot just because the various owners of it can't see eye-to-eye...and every day another PW has to struggle through the hatchling phase is another day they could be making Graal a better place. |
