Let's just agree to disagree, since apparently we have differing opinions on WotC as a corporation and whether there goals are to best serve their customers, themselves or find a happy medium between the two.  I feel giving those who purchase the book their PDF for free, especially if they're already subscribers and are using the DI they pay for to play your game, falls in the last category.  Different strokes for different folks I guess.</blockquote>
