Transmogrifier Should Allow Transfer of Content to Other GM Games, Not Just Owned Games

The Transmogrifier is really cool, but it only works between games that the player created/owns. If a player is upgraded to GM on someone else's game they are not able to transfer content to this game because they are not the owner.  As a DM/GM I would love to be able to transfer some of my more complex maps to a friends game. We are DMing in the same canonical universe, and the ability to transfer between us would make this cross-game interaction more feasible and fun for all involved.

This would be very handy to have at some times.  I doubt it will ever happen due to how much it would strip protection from sharing purchased IP protected content.
It might be able to be done with people in the game, so something like everyone that owns a book brings it to the table and can share it with the people there.  I dont think that would go again ips and fare use. But they would most likely limit the size of people in the game as well just like the compendium share.
Do you not have access to your full library in your friend's game? You can just add the maps to pages for you both to use. Allowing the transmogrification of all your content would lead to mass duplication of purchased content.

You DO have access to your full library if you are promoted DM / GM. BUT you can NOT transfer Maps / Characters etc. with one click via Transmogrifier, so essentially you have to re-build the map you want to use (transmogrify) in the other campaign... That's why it would be really convenient, if we could just use Transmogrifier on this... Adam S. said: Do you not have access to your full library in your friend's game?

As for your last point: I really don't think so. You do NOT transmogrify a whole module but just a few maps or characters... Maybe you have a game where you prepare Stuff (Maps / Characters etc.) you want to use in other games... And besides: if you have purchased content in your library, you can use it either way, so you are "duplicating" purchased content just by doing so...
