Karma, this is Nantuko joe here....

If you're 22, you'd be able to think in terms of the REAL WORLD.

Think like this:

You're the owner of a multimillion-dollar comic industry, and over the past four years you've been gyped out of quite a few MILLION dollars due to bad movie contracts. Suddenly, you discover that there is a site that is hosting and running a site based on characters owned by YOU. The owner of this site has CLAIMED to the players that he had a deal with you allowing him to run the site, and you discover that he is receiving "donations" from the players to keep the site running.

Now, not only is the owner of the site plagiarizing your material for his own purposes, but he's also receiving time from players in order to continue doing so. Now, this basically means that the owner could be making a profit off of a site that illegally uses your copywritten material without your permission, and you're not getting ANY time. Wouldn't you be pissed that you're now getting gyped out of time AGAIN?

Furthermore, after you shut down the site, would you REALLY decide to let him keep running the site, just because a bunch of kids email you saying how they like the site? I hope not.

And our morale? What the hell? So you think Marvel is the bad guy because they took away a site that you play to pass time during the day, and it makes you sad?

Think realistically here. Emails will do nothing.

And TMy, I'd LOVE to hear the reason why you just banned me. Is it because I simply am in support of marvel in this issue? If that's the case, then that's pretty crappy of you, to ban someone just because their views aren't the same as your own.
