Distributing copies when you are not the publisher, without permission of the publisher, or a liscensed distributor for that publisher's material is stealing. Period. So if you are getting your stuff from any source outside of these three places, you are infact encouraging a system that of theft. Like the electronic version of something that fell off the back of a truck <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />If the PDF version is for sale somewhere, you should buy it, even if you have bought the actual book. See, you're not just paying for the ideas. You're paying for another format that makes the ideas accessible to you in a different manner than the actual book--and that has value. For some gamers, it's easier to have that information on the computer. That being said, I know some PDF publishers that give you the PDF for free when you buy the book. Joe and I did something like that with MMS:WE, where if you bought the PDF, you got a coupon for $10 off the book price at RPGmall.com. That way we could retro send to people who purchased the PDF before the book came out.I'm not calling anyone an immoral bastard for using kazaa or burning something for a friend. I'm just saying don't call it "not stealing".-suzi</blockquote>
