folded

Which acknowledgement page? Do you happen to have the address?

Oh and Foldspace isn't the only RPG that does this. There's another one that's been around for almost 2 years now, that does the same thing. No problem for them either because they aren't making any money off of it.

Thopter was a video-based game though, wasn't it? If anyone was making money off the site where it was, that may have been the problem. I don't have the site attached to any form of financial benefit -- no memberships with commissions per sale of book/movie clubs like Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble or the ilk, no paid advertising, etc. This is just the printed word. I had a long discussion with him on the subject. His words were something along the lines of: As long as you aren't making money off it, there's not a problem. We were allowed to use the characters and quotes from the stories. I was also lead to believe that KJA was one half of the Herbert Partnership, the other being BH. At the time, he had one of their [Herbert LTD. Partnership] lawyers check out the site. He told me later, it was fine.

You know what's so odd about that is, Kevin J. and the lawyers from Herbert Partnership, have looked over similar sites of mine and haven't had a problem with them. Is this some new thing they are doing ? The only person that seemed to have a problem with any of my sites in the past was Dr. McNelly, and this was some 5 years ago, concerning information I had taken from the DE and hadn't gotten his permission to use [specifically no-room technology used for the creation of Rakis Finds]. I removed the data from the site, and he was fine with it after that. Can you direct me to the people who were shut down by Herbert Partnership? Email addresses? Web site addresses?
