[QUOTE="wayne62682, post: 4969056, member: 40455"] But more than likely there will be a backlash on WotC for wasting the time doing it and more people will pirate it to get back at those "moneygrubbing corporate scumbags". Just like Microsoft - their stuff is ridiculously easy to pirate because they know that people will do it (instead of using a competing product) so they give the PR that they are against piracy, but really don't enforce it more than the bare minimum to keep up that front. They need to just realize that people WILL pirate their books no matter what they do, they can't stop it no matter how hard they try, and move on. If I were a shareholder in Hasbro I would be complaining that WotC is wasting my money and profits by trying to defeat something that cannot be defeated, and the results of which will probably cause it to happen more out of revenge.
