With all due respect to LordTBT, but I do think you are being a little hard on the Mossflower Movie Project. I was not a member of their work, but I did keep a close eye on their work, and quite frankly, to see that they got as far as they did AND get acknowledgement from the rights owners for their works (even if it was to turn them down) is still quite an accomplishment.
Furthermore, from what I understand of the movie-making bizz, what they were doing wasn't entirely unheard of, as i have heard of the major movie companies working on movies before they actually got the rights to it, and if I recall, there is evidence that the same has happened to Redwall before.
My point, however, is that legality issues (which I am not arguing) aside, your comments towards the group seem very cold, and they're taking offense. So can you really blame them for sticking up for themselves?
I'm not saying everyone needs to start praising them for what they were doing and that there was nothing potentially wrong or illegal about what they were doing, but still, they deserve credit where credit is do. All I'm saying.
