User:SOTO/Forum Archive/Inclusion debates/@comment-1506468-20190827123101/@comment-1506468-20190905173412 The question of "How do we know whether the rights were indeed secured?" is the height of being nitpicky here. We never challenged Obverse when they got the Faction Paradox licence, not did we for Candy Jar when Lethbridge-Stewart popped up on the scene. To ask each new spin off series that arises to personally provide us here at Tardis with their legal documents is absurd, and in most cases is never going to happen. Sure, if the original copyright owner does end up disputing the use of their character, then we'd whip the content off the wiki ASAP.

I honestly feel with this debate that Arcbeatle Press is being singled out here, and treated as a business wholly different to that of Candy Jar, Thebes or Obverse. It's a commercial business, and can release their products in any way they see fit. They, like Obverse or any other publisher have done that, and suddenly it's a problem.

This debate has created a mountain out of a molehill, and should have been ended a week ago. The time the debate goes on for is irrelevent, it's the content of that debate that matters, and in this debate we've had almost a dozen users (including some admins) support these stories, with very few opposing it. We are a community here, and the majority of that community has spoken. To ignore the majority here is to ignore the rules that Tardis is built upon.
