[QUOTE="coyote6, post: 4744253, member: 1225"] I can't believe that's the case; the redownload thing has been a part of both sites (and DTRPG, when it was separate from RPGNow) from the beginning; it's also a part of e23, Green Ronin's online store, and I think every other PDF selling site I've done business with. So if WotC didn't know about the policy until just now, that would be nigh-idiotic, and certainly incompetent, of them. I think you are misunderstanding how that works. Only the person who purchased the PDF is allowed to download it. You don't get to download it five times, and give four copies away. You get to download it once, find out your DL is corrupted; DL it again, have your HD die before you backup your PC; DL it a third time, have your house burn down with backups & all; DL it a fourth time, have your new laptop stolen before you back it up; and DL it a fifth time, and back it up securely quickly before your horrible luck dooms you again. At no point are you legally allowed to give a copy to someone else. [/QUOTE]
