Yup. That was my link, above.
Didn't Rouse say a few months ago that they had him chasing down pirate sites or something? And that was a reason for the delay in the
GSL? Seems to be somewhat of a priority. And it also explains why no one got a warning. Why let the evil pirates know that it will be harder to get pdf's of books.
Seems someone has a bug up their ass over there about pdf sales. I wonder if they will be sold as pdf's again. Someone without an ounce of sense, but who is in charge, probably asked why they were making it easier for people to pirate books by making a good pdf version that people can easily share.
It makes no sense to anyone with a clue, by which I mean ending pdf sales will probably make pirating more widespread and cut off a valuable revenue stream for
WOTC, which is why it's probably true that it's all tied to an anti-pirating initiative.
