Another opensource gutted by big corporate job/$$$ anticompetitive bribes??

Fanfilm makers are being heavily hit by job bribes. Cause cancelation of Broken Allegience II.

Oil companies buy out inventors to snuff out the potential threat of their invention becoming market-worthy.

I wonder what would happen if the bribes were turned down. Would the lawsuits and other war-politics start?

Well thats what emule is good for If your'e trying to make a living and anti-competive war-politics makes it impossible then dump it on emule and make a living elsewhere, even if its dialamerica or Wal-Mart.

Dangerous Journeys will always have P2P presense even though it taken via lawsuit (via lawyer cash brute force) and shelved away with only mild conceptual integration into D&D 3rd edition.

Don't take the bribes becuase your proud work will stagnate or worse become coporate property, and your future work will be locked shut by nasty confidentialy agreements. Worse your work could end up shelved or even destroyed (emule can help though).

You're better off working somewhere where attatchment is no issue if it pays enough or at least you know from the start it will never be yours. And then doing your own thing on the side and giving it away free as opensource
