How far is this going to go? Will lawyers be patrolling reddit, mmorpg forums demanding moderators take down AARs and commentaries of battles and strategic actions because this or that guy wrote a book that covers what you're talking about?
Will there be copyright infringement actions taking place because eve players go into detail regarding their experiences or their perception of actions that took place?
Hit with libel for contradicting the written words of authors with their own idea of what actually took place?
How far down does this rabbit hole go?
CCP owns you and your stories already.

Divine Entervention wrote:Yes, and so far they've not had a reason to stop us from telling them.
Now with the monetization through books of player stories, will this be the catalyst that initiates active censorship?
Given that one of the main fleets in that story has my name if there was an issue I would the first in line to kick up a stink about it.

Guess that explains the 150,000 $. 
I hear people will spend a year working for nothing and people will publish/print and do all the legal stuff for free.

I am curious if this is more than just moral support. From what I see it appears to mostly be that. But it goes beyond that, I would like to know how much support CCP is giving to this player's endeavors.
Here is an example of a quote from the mittani:
"When CCP, Jeff Edwards and The Mittani Media decided to collaborate in writing science fiction thrillers based on the stories created in EVE Online, we knew that this would be only the first of many epic stories we would tell. Combining the remarkable writing talent of Jeff Edwards with the strength and support of CCP Games and The Mittani Media, this book is destined to captivate science fiction, action, suspense, and military fiction fans everywhere." they better write about how I extracted goontears in VFK for months, the fountain war, just a reason to escape my torpedos You must be new to how mittens "narrates".
His getting into the book isn't all that far fetched, after all, we did take him with us on deployments.

I asked what ccp gave the mittani. CCP Falcon said they gave rights to the ip to use in the book. He didn't say that was all they gave. I am not sure if that is all they gave, so I am asking.
The fox news tactic.

My bigger concern is what involvement does ccp have with this propaganda book and themittani.com. I think only a fool thinks alliance propaganda doesn't effect the game. CCP's "backing" or "partnering" with alliance leaders in the production of that propaganda should be handled transparently or not done at all.
You asked that and got your answer.
