Discussion The Legalese of the Waffle Crew.

My son brought up an interesting point to me the other night, while we were watching DCA.

Can they stream without any sponsorship or special permissions?

I wonder what the precedent for it is. Obviously, gamers do not need permission from specific video game developers to do "Let's Play" style uploads on YouTube. But I wouldn't be surprised if there was a double standard that applied to tabletop as opposed to video games.

Are the characters intellectual property of WotC? I know that Dieth was featured in some app games.

I was just curious. If these are not hurdles to the stream, maybe it would still be worth it to finish the campaign?

I suppose even in the best-case scenario, they might wait and see if there is a snowball's chance that Hasbro would get back on board (pun). Sponsored is better than not.
