Grr... I just dropped quite a bit of cash on eBay getting Rebellion SB, Hard Times, COACC and Arrival Vengance...
Darn!
Oh, well.

You're not reading your copy carefully enough then
For MTJ3 and MTJ4 all of the text is clearly labeled as being copyright GDW. The artwork is the only part copyright DGP. This has been discussed before and verified as correct, and it's the reason why QLI was able to incorporate the background material from MTJ4 into their T20 Gateway Domain Sourcebook.Given that GDW (and therefore Marc/FFE) owns the rights to these, it's a shame they won't be included in the CD-ROM. Perhaps Marc thinks it's too much trouble to remove all the artwork and graphics (at least some of which would need to be replaced for some of the articles to make sense), or perhaps he's just forgotten (in which case please consider this a friendly reminder: if it's feasible to include them, the text portions of MTJ3 & 4 would make a very welcome addition to the MT CD-ROM
).You're not reading your copy carefully enough then

Now, I must confess that as I have already done this with my own copies, I might not purchase a copy... but it is so useful, particularly if you do much writing (no rummaging through books, just have a 2nd window open) that I'd thoroughly recommend it to everyone.
Another company for whom I write agree with this: we are all issued with PDF copies of all the appropriate published works. I wish more companies would make material available in this way.

I think it should be identicle to the original - artwork and all, with the errata built-in.
and the artwork, and the covers.

/me goes back and re-reads fine print with old man glasses on... uh yep - you are, of course, correct sir!Originally posted by T. Foster:

I also notice tht the artwork remains under the artist's copyright.... so if one cared to get their consent then the art could be used as well.
