I'm just stating my opinion. I think writers, the creators of a product should have the same rights to their product as other producers of other products. And that they should be able to pass those rights on to their heirs. I know that's no the way it is, but it's the way I believe it should be.

Now that I've said my piece, I'll let it go at that. My hold for The Fall of Gondolin has come through so (hopefully) my next post in this thread will be on the original topic.
