If you're talking about transmitting different players' creatures to other players, for money, as a way to increase Spore's overall value, then yes. The Movies is a good example of doing this, sort of. But I wonder what precedent is being set for how EA will handle the social features of the game, once it finally appears. Eh, maybe.

They likely need to clarify that they have permission to transmit the creatures as part of the service - that's where most of the services-owning-content stuff comes from. They need to be able to store, reproduce, duplicate, and distribute the creatures as part of the service. I'd err on the side of EA-being-non-evil. @Fergus it took maybe half an hour, only because I was playing around :-)

I have a ten year old who will be all over this (not such a gamer myself, but he really is). How long did it take you to put the creature together?
