[QUOTE="Enerla, post: 4748076, member: 83246"] I think the whole problem is simple, and it can justify wizards stopping selling PDF products. Lets see: There are countries where you can make copies of the pdf, and it is perfectly legal, it is perfectly legal if your copies are sent to the people you run demo groups for, and if you make it available in such communities. But nothing can stop other people taking that copy and posting it on major P2P sites. For the first part: Wizards can decide they can see how much money they got from reprography fees, can decide ok, it isn't a problem, since most people there still buys the game, and a higher percentage of players buy books there than in brick and mortar clubs, so good for everyone. For the secound part: How to find the uploader? At this point the file is distributed to masses who doesn't want to pay for it, and it is bad, sets a bad example, and people there don't pay a reprography fee, etc. I think it is hard to see any scenario where WOTC can get some decision made in US courts enforced in poland about this, and if US courts recoginze they should use polish laws to judge it (it is possible for them, to do so, right?) or decide WOTC should contact a polish court (this is even more possible) WOTC doesn't get anything... Except... They posted a good reason for: Ditching rpgnow, dtrpg. less competition when they will sell stuff with DDI, better deals. No more 3E and 3.5E sales, so those supplements and Pathfinder RPG won't be an alternative to 4E, and if there are many players who want to keep 3E trying to force them to 4E seems to be a way to sell more 4E products later.
