I don't really care which 50% it is- all the powers, everything but the powers, every odd page, whatever. It is INCREDIBLY obvious, if you think about it for one second, that any business that sells that information (in book form, for example) is NOT going to want it freely disseminated. "But it's bad for the fans!" Hey, you know what? Write what you want, create what you want, share it with your friends and your gaming group- but when you start widely distributing it, expect trouble. I don't care if it is WotC, GE, the Smithsonian or whatever- you cannot simply distribute the work of others without consequences. I just cannot fathom why it is so hard to fathom this. But whatever, obviously some people have more of a sense of entitlement to the work and intellectual labor of others than I do.</blockquote>
