waysoftheearth wrote in Report sellers who infringe copyrights!:Is this suggesting that anyone is "authorised" to scan, print and resell any old PDF they happen to buy from DriveThru? Or is it more specifically that WotC or DriveThru has issued a statement saying it's open season on reselling their D&D PDF catalogue?Either way, I can't quite get my head around it
waysoftheearth wrote in Report sellers who infringe copyrights!:I guess because the seller had a bunch of OD&D-related reprints, with multiple copies of each (well... 2x Chainmail and 4x Swords & Spells were the only two I looked at), I wondered whether the seller might have purchased one CM PDF and was then selling many POD hard-copies from that single PDF purchase. That's the part I couldn't imagine WotC or DriveThru authorising.

FoulFoot wrote in Report sellers who infringe copyrights!:I believe copyright in the U.S. is 70 years from the author's death. For corporately-produced material, it's 95 years. So, in short, D&D won't be public-domain in any of our lifetimes.Foul
