So the discussion about book piracy in another made me want to post this thread. Have you pirated 4th edition game books before?

Side note: I'm generally amused by these types of threads/polls.

Considering that for most message boards, digitial piracy is a forbidden topic, I can't imagine that anyone that has done it and has a modicum of active brain cells is going to openly admit to such in a public forum.

Places like the #chan sites you'll see "Anonymous" openly talking about such a thing, but that's only becuase they're "Anonymous," and thus generally acking in accountability. See also Gabe's "Greater Internet Dickwad" theory.

On topic,
I bought the 4e books. Considered buying the PDFs, but given how little I play 4e these days, that's money better spent elsewhere on things I do use.

Bought me some priates. ;)

I bought the books but a not interested in PDF-versions. Instead of buying or pirating PDFs I've subscribed to DDI.

Piracy is not an option for me and this is not only due to illegality or fear of reprisals. It is due to PDFs being an awful medium for books. I don't like reading long texts on-screen and the idea of printing the books sounds pretty daft to me.

I don't know what to answer without incriminating myself.
I HAVE bought every book I have. I believe the digital copies fall under fair use.

I'd realy much rather carry my 1lb laptop to work than 5-10 books.
