IANAL, but from a EU-centric perspective on copyright (which is the only one I can reliably talk about) the idea of a proprietary encryption key is bogus. A creative work can be copyrighted if it has sufficient originality (or under some other very specific conditions). Smaller parts of such a work are not copyrighted if they don't meet that criteria on their own. The encryption key (which is very probably randomly generated and definitely not a creative work) thus can't be copyrighted on it's own. At least in the EU, there should be no argument against sharing said key (at least in respect to copyright).
I honestly can't talk about other jurisdictions (maybe someone else here can) but I imagine it should be similar to this in many other countries.
Had fun with Verdance at my local pre-release event. I think I will keep her and maybe try out the others too. Was originally hoping to play my old Data-Doll deck again after Rosetta now but I'm so sure anymore.
I - for one - welcome the solarpunk future where we'd meet up with friends to watch indie self-published movies because that exploitative but productive industry didn't make it for lack of a viable business model.
Nice write-up, but really not helpful since it has nothing at all to do with what is actually proposed in the initiative.
Honestly not sure how I feel about them but the rules seem straightforward enough. We had so many judge calls at the Mistveil Prerelease. I do hope Rosetta will be better.
I'm not that new anymore but still relatively fresh (joined last year). Really looking forward to the new wizards and the new guardian.
