   Some people won't stay with their 'baby' project when the power that   
   actually 'owns' the copyright insists on telling you what's best for   
   your story. Why stay with a project over which you have no real control   
   and then have your talent trashed by the results of their interference.   
   Under those conditions, they get the credit if it actually works;   
   however, you get the blame if it doesn't. If you want to work under   
   thoae conditions, have at it. the only people who do that are those who   
   have no choice.
