As a John Carter fan and reader for more years than I wish to admit, I would love to be able to see what fellow fans could create. However, there is one major problem -- ERB, Inc. ERB, Inc. is merciless in its protection of any and all things Burroughs related. Even though the copyright on many of Burroughs' works has long since expired, ERB, Inc. has resorted to TRADEMARKING names, places, etc. within the books as a further form of protection. And, yes, they have went after fans whose only "crime" was posting fan-fiction and/or graphics related to ERB works. They do not tolerate anything that, in their opinion, would diminish the financial worth of ERB related works. This might be a worthy matter for discussion in the new Copyright Laws forum. It appears that ERB, Inc. relaizes that the copyright protection is gone on much of ERB's work, yet continue their prosecutions. It appears, IMO, that they do it with the goal of simply wearing the "perpetrator" down with appeals and legal bills. Well, I really had not meant to babble on so long, but it may help explain why there is such a dearth of John Carter and Mars related materials.
