#Avalon CD halted
We've already decided not to do an Avalon disc, so there will be no further
negotiation. Been there, done that, scars already healed. 🙂 If it makes
sense at all for us to do a similar disc, there are plenty of sites and content
from the Internet.
It sounds like you've got some confusion about Viewpoint's stance on the
ownership or control of the models on Avalon. They don't claim to "own" the
objects in any way. In fact, I was surprised to see that their "frequently
asked questions" list recently posted to the Internet says that they don't
claim a collection copyright over the site, either. I would've guessed that
they'd need that to attempt to protect the site from others… similar to what
CompuServe does to protect its data libraries.
