There was also Rackham producing AT-43 and Confrontation. Their IP rights seem to change every few years and nothing substantial gets done. Many of these companies have gone out of business and their IPs are trapped in limbo due to the Berne Convention's idiotic copyright laws.

As I've said, don't copyright your IPs. You're signing a death warrant. If you want your IP to survive and not be ruined by corporate, release it into the public domain. You can still trademark it and derivative works aren't automatically in the public domain, so it's still attractive to publishers if you ever need funding. For comparison, Dracula is in public domain and still gets adapted all the time.

I'm sure this is only a coincidence...

QuoteSo you're telling us that NERDS wouldn't have bought big tiddies space babes?

We are not talking about big tiddy space babes, but about titties devoured by powerful pecks DRR "female" athletic team

QuoteNow riddle me this, how are you going to prevent the same bores (or the satanic panic ones) from spoiling your creation without copyright?

Why would I care? Like people can see easily - faking autorship is still illegal - whether it's mine or not, and if puritans or wokesters want their versions of my setting, then like whatever. Even with copyright they can really spoil whatever they want in vastness of fanfiction, and just because they can legally use world and terms does not make their creation in any way official.

Just like all expanded Cthulhu Mythos is not Lovecraft.

QuoteWhich is MY point, putting your setting in the public domain allows ANYONE to use it in whatever way they so choose, and if they have more money/influence than you outsell you thus supplanting your work from the public conscience.

I find it really doubtful unless your setting was bland vanillia shit to begin with.

Or maybe copyright it for few years to control birthing spasms of fandom if there will be one?
