: But I didn't understand this:
: : It is important that you understand we own worldwide rights in all media
: :in both our OCEAN GIRL series and any spin offs.
: And so? What do you mean? Does Ghostwriter threatened to steal those rights? Tsk...
They mean that if I try to develop a spin off of OCEAN GIRL, I can't do that.
Also, if I try to sell the idea to another company, I can't do that. What they
are telling me is that they will sue me if I sell this idea to another company.
Which I don't plan on doing, anyhow.
: : Please do not continue to write and develop projects based on OCEAN GIRL
: :or we will be required to seek legal counsel and enforce our rights under
: :copyright law.
: Again? I don't understand...they should be proud that they have so many fans in the world, fans who make them a lot of advertising with their "unofficial website of...", and then they threaten to seek legal counsel?
: What a kind people work at JMS productions...
: And reading those lines, it seems that to write fanfics (without selling them) it's illegal too...wow, guys! We are all going to pass our holydays in prison!
It is alright provided we don't try to sell the ideas to other companies. IF we do it for fun,
then it is alright. It is like those Star Trek groups that create their "Ships" and crews and write
stories about their adventures.
Thanks for you support and you will recieve this a FanFic Nebo. For your page only until I get
mine up and running during my winter holiday.
