Copyright – and the degree to which copyright incentivizes creativity – is such an interesting topic! Fandom itself actually provides a counter to the utilitarian theory of copyright, in that there's this tremendous amount of creativity w/o any monetary gain – though you could argue, e.g., posting fic is motivated at least in part by reputational benefits.
In terms of the fic, I intend to focus chiefly on issues of resale – i.e., the whole thing gets started in response to folks selling copies of WWX's talismans.
