[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 4742555, member: 2209"] We don't know if WotC negotiated a contract allowing them to pull the availability of files for redownload in contradiction of the terms that RPGNOW advertises it sells pdfs on. We do know their authorized seller of pdfs said we could redownload the WotC products and now according to the statement WotC has told them not to allow that to happen after sales have been made. We don't know if RPGNow made claims it was not authorized to make or if WotC ordered something it does not have the legal authority to order. Even if WotC has legal authority to pull back their download sources, it is their action that takes away stuff we paid for. You expect consumers to give WotC the benefit of the doubt and to turn the other cheek. We paid for data and access to data. We now just have the data we downloaded but not the access to store backups that we paid for. We do not know enough to say if they are legally entitled to take away access to the store backups from their consumers. They might be. This would not entitle them to say it is not their actions that are responsible for the consumers loss or to avoid the ire their actions cause. [/QUOTE]
