There is a basic assumption in commerce that when money is exchanged for a product that is produced by a reputable company that that product will be one of quality. WOTC has time and again not held up their end of this relationship by putting forth error laden products that while good on whole are still below what many would consider an acceptable standard.
The perception is that if they don't care enough about making a product that is worth the $20.00 (U.S.) then why should they expect their consumers to respect WOTC's copyright. (The thinking is that WOTC is over charging for inferior products and doing so on a mass scale, supplement this supplement that...)
It sure is nice that every one needs to visit WOTC web site to down load Errata. In a web based world they have now virtually ensured that everyone who purchases one of their products will also click onto their site.
I am not proposing that it right to violate a copy right law. I am pointing out that their isn't alot of sympathy from the masses behind it.
Besides all of you who have so nobly proclaimed your copy right virtue, how many CD's have you burned, or cassette tapes have you copied, or how much pirated software is on your PC. the list goes on...
It sure is nice that we can pick and choose what we are going to be hypocrites about.
