> However, the idea of "You can add a chapter to this, call it your own, and sell it" and I won't legally come after you is absurd. The only part of this that seems legally problematic is copying and redistributing the part that you wrote. If I wanted to buy 10,000 copies of A Game of Thrones so I could staple my fanfiction to the back and sell it on Etsy, there is no legal precedent suggesting I could be stopped. It is a lawful transformation of a legally licensed product, payed for in-full and redistributed in accordance with it's individual license. Absent any extenuating contracts between the owner and seller, I don't see what legal ground you would have to stand on. > and if the results of said legal pursuit result in you being bankrupt...what was the phrase you used, "then so be it." "if" indeed.
