[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7523796, member: 6704184"] I find it more annoying in a physical book. Spell organization by class is available completely free. You just can't view the content of spells you havne't purchased the source of, but you can look at the list of all wizard spells ever printed for 5e, for free. And the Legendary Bundle gives you all currently published content for about 15% below amazon cost. DDB is that experience. You don't get songs free on iTunes just because you purchased the CD years ago before iTunes was made. Also, you can input the entirety of every book you own manually, using the homebrew system, and share it with your group (if you have the subscription that lets you share your homebrew with your group, which is pretty cheap). You are explicitly allowed to do that, because you are legally allowed to do it, and they have no reason to stop you. You just can't share published content with the community as homebrew. Also, also, the service is very useful even if you don't buy anything or input the content of the phb as "homebrew". A great example of why DnDBeyond is like iTunes and other modern music services, is that currently the only reason to use MPMB's sheet instead of DDB is a preference for the MPMB format (and it is a superior print sheet than the DDB export pdf sheet, by far. especially for spellcasters), or because you are broke and want to tinker with character building without paying for content. Eventually, DnDBeyond will have a export sheet that is just as good or better, and with the "vastly superior to a pdf in every way" nature of the compendium features of DDB, and the excellent character builder (also superior to any other third party builder i've seen, including MPMB's very good sheet), and the fact that you can download the content you've purchased into an offline mode via the app now, there will be so little reason to use services that infringe copyright, that vanishingly few people will do so.
