* Sean Kleefeld
suggests

* not comics: while I imagine that most fans will pull out the "you're just greedy" card when discussing
a costume company being sued for not licensing the DC character costumes it's apparently selling,
and one would hope for a better solution, it does seem to me that you probably shouldn't sell material for which you don't have a license.
* Johanna Draper Carlson
looks at
refund mechanisms and requirements with Kickstarter, and wishes for improvements.
* Vaneta Rogers talks to
Doug Mahnke
.
* oh boy, this looks like a blast:
an examination of John Byrne's Marvel vs. Creators trial testimony
.
* finally, I'm not exactly sure what J. Caleb Mozzocco is doing with
