I think your thoughts on OTW are very positive, which is really nice to read.
Also, to not have to worry about legal ramifications would be really nice. It would be nice to have an option other than roll over when TPTB come to tell us to.
Would the defense fund support the individual author? Or the right to write fanfiction? I would like to have more clarification, but I think at this point, we can't get that - and this is one of the reason that I haven't taken a firm stance on OTW - I like to wait and see. This doesn't just apply to OTW - it applies to my approach to life in general!
But, I do have to admit that I feel a little cynical about the legal defense fund, and the potential weight that it could reasonably be expected to have.
