I know that some folks on my friends list write fan fic, and may thus not agree with Robin's points. If you feel compelled to disagree with them here, please be polite and rational. Posts deemed impolite, irrational, or both, by Eagles Over the Kennebec Management will be deleted.
In the service of Full Disclosure and Fair Warning, I do agree with Robin's points. Scott Lynch (link also frompegkerr) does not.

Another opinion is posted on Lynn Flewellings LJ, downloadable from her Files.
The results of the Discussion? I came out Against , with my main arguement that it is theft, pure and simple; my husband came out For, but he believes that all created work is fair game, once it goes public---some more details to this, but that is the gist of it.
