Got in touch with drewski, and he not only was very nice about my message, he told me while he's not aware of all the issues regarding copyright law, he is willing to address those issues and unlike Fast Eddie, not nessecarily beholden to Fast Eddie's policies on that, and is thus willing to meet us halfway and discuss the matter further.
In fact, he is aware of our site mission and goals, and unlike Fast Eddie, extended us an olive branch and wants to work with us in improving relations.
I advised him to contact Bob specifically (due to having the largest case of all of us) and to consult an attorney concerning the current status of all the contested work, and since he's willing to work with us, I informed him we desire the most amicable and legally satisfactory conclusion to this issue if possible (without legal battles if at all avoidable), and since he responded with such grace and decency to me, my opinion of him is much higher than it was for Fast Eddie already, and I only hope these discuissions bear fruit and not only our website but his version of TV Tropes prospers.
Again, I was very pleasantly surprised by drewski's willingness to cooperate with us, and I remain somewhat optimistic at present this matter will be resolved to our mutual satisfaction.
