Pegazus Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I think I have lost a part of my mind recently. Christmas tradition is to get an iTunes gift card and I get my new music for the year. So I keep a list of songs I want. Go to do it today and there should be 4-5 songs I bought last year that aren’t in my library. Ah. They must have removed them from iTunes. No, they are there. Confused, I have opened up emailed receipts for the last three years. They aren’t there! It’s as if I didn’t buy them. I would seear that I did. But I have no evidence to prove that currently. And it’s making me question what little fraction of sanity I had left. 2 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrift Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Per the new Hasbro OGL, if your name contains any letter of the alphabet, you are henceforth the property of Hasbro. 6 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know {I hope} this was posted in jest. Look for something called a "severability clause". If they didn't put one of these in the whole license is Void On Its Face.

strawhat Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 It’s a jest, but not by much…at least according to what’s been leaked. If I remember what Roll for Combat were saying correctly, use of the new OGL allows Hasbro unlimited and uncompensated use of materials published under it. So you own it, but in a way so does Hasbro. Because if it looks like it would be profitable Hasbro can just take over your IP and do with it what they want. The example Roll for Combat used was the new Dr. Who RPG. According to the new OGL, if the Dr. Who RPG were released under it, Hasbro would then be able to produce and release Dr. Who products—a license they don’t have. The commercial OGL (there are rumored to be commercial and non-commercial versions) may have a variation on the language that isn’t quite so expansive and wouldn’t include properties licensed to the publisher. But at least you get a sticker for your troubles (exclusive brand badge or some such). The new OGL is terrible from what I’ve been hearing. Like illegal/unenforceable terrible. But you’d have to have the contact/license experience or a lawyer to figure that out, and you could still end up signing away your rights accidentally if you use the new one. The problem is that small shops won’t have the resources or experience to know which parts are which. It’s just an ugly situation. Remember: strawhat is not a lawyer. He doesn’t even play one on tv. 4 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have quite a few pictures that my mother took (it was originally her phone), and they're all fine. But at some point in time, I'm assuming it happened during a system update, it switched to HEIC. Yeah, Apple has been trying to push it as the new norm, and like a lot of things, tends to be heavy handed with their "guidance" (aka they change things when you update, no matter what your preferences are set as, it's annoying). Does it have value as a codec? Yes, it's actually better than JPG in many ways, but the problem is that it isn't a universal standard, and many are perfectly fine with the JPG/JPEG format. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also a draft, and a leaked draft at that. Mind you, I'm not saying don't yell about it on the Internet; they need to know we're paying attention. As a creative and an artist, I definitely don't like it; it would severely limit my ability to take commissions, if I'm not misreading. And I'm not really sure I want a situation where I'd need to keep a contract lawyer on retainer for something like that; at the least, I don't think I can afford it. And if I can't... there are a lot of artists and small creators who definitely can't. But for now.. it's a draft. The reaction they're getting makes me hope that whatever they come out with won't be as bad, but... Hasbro's got a rep, and not a good one. >.< 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
