I was about to add this - THANK YOU!!!

*Pours a cup of *FRESH* wine and passes it over*

I'm *EAGERLY* anticipating my copy of "Wise Man's Fear." And I'll be buying it as a paperback to share with others, and an ebook (sorry Patrick) for my iPod nook app.

There was no mention in his following tweets of how much Rupert would charge the fans for the copyright.

No mention, huh? Hmmm... So maybe his price is a share in the future endeavor. Presumably, he could be convinced to almost give it up if he thinks he can make more coin by doing it.

Which means our BDHs running the risk of making Firefly with the Devil in their midst.

Malcolm Reynolds, a real Browncoat, would be hard, cynical, and contemptuous toward FOX. He would not want his fans to be soft-headed. He might act something like this:

For what it's worth, here's my take on it.

If people buy lottery tickets and send them to Nathan, he probably won't win the 300 million (or whatever the number was). A miracle occurs and he wins enough to buy the rights. A non-miracle occurs, Firefly still gets publicity. Finally, if any of those tickets win smaller amounts, he'll probably put the money into Kids Need to Read. That's good for kids.

Channain, Storymark -- You'd be wise to be scared of FOX. Selling Firefly would be another opportunistic business deal for Rupert Murdoch, who has a long history of getting the upperhand.

And after, Rupert will be very sorry that his TV executive was too tough with the Browncoats, but a deal is a deal. As a kind gesture, he'll personally donate maybe $1,000 to CSTS and to Nathan's favorite charity to assuage our suspicions that we were robbed blind. Rupert's a gentleman and a great humanitarian. You'd know that if you read his newspapers.

They've already mentioned the DVD campaign that put the series out on the Navy ships - that was good for the troops.

Kids Need to Read, CSTS, and anything else the BDHs support could also get a boost from this.

Or the miracle does happen. AND the charities get a boost at the same time. That sounds a little too shiny to be true... doesn't make it any less shinier though, right?

What I'm curious about is how do we know that happens automatically?

Every try to by a website domain that someone else has already purchased? When you buy it yourself initially it costs about $160 for the year. If a web domain broker buys a popular name first, they will make you pay at least $2500 if not more to buy it from them.

So do the rights revert back automatically, or is Joss Whedon getting an option to buy them?

Something else I know; a lot of us spent a lot of time hating Fox when Fox really didn't care. You, Two, need to chill it with the Rupert Hate.

Fear is the mind killer. Hate is the soul killer. Hate him and he has power over you. Going against something doesn't mean you have to hate it.

Huh. Not bad. Turns out you have some skills after all. No sense of respect - really, at all, for the other Browncoats writing in here in earnest truth - but skills.
