In Response To: Re: The moral dilemmas of a fanfic author (kapowaz)

: You know, I almost had as a footnote to a previous post that Louis should
: pull all his fanfics from the site, as they are an IP violation, but I
: thought that given the tone of my post it might be interpreted as a snide
: remark (which I wouldn't want, given my respect for the site). But I think
: you're right in that fan fiction as a whole treads along a very fine line
: where IP is concerned - if you are a believer in it all.

: Given that Bungie have published several Halo fiction novels, it strikes me
: that this, if anything, is the most contentious use of "intellectual
: property" (the settings, characters and events) from the Halo
: universe. However, to actually suggest that fan fiction be outlawed is
: ludicrous, and I hope that in itself should highlight the absurdity of IP
: "law" as a whole.

Fanfic is not an "IP" violation, at least not your typical stuff on this site. And whether you are a believer in any body of law is irrelevant.
