I also think the 1 post usernames in this thread are hilarious.

Come on guys, show us who you REALLY are!

This is my first forum... I don't have an alias.

I just killed my physical book hours ago. I got rid of the binding and have now seperate pages. Will get scanned at work (we got a industry level scanning machine) and OCR'd at home. After that - i have the product i want. Thx wotc - its just about 10+hours work... could spend my mojo on more important stuff - really.

Oh yeah, I know. Just amused by Hacky McWarez's superiority complex.


But to add to the actual topic of the thread, I'm very surprised I haven't seen it by now. I would've thought the sheer conviction people had against the pdf policy change would've driven people to scan it within hours. I can see why it would take a while to OCR it and jazz it up, but you'd think a raw scan would show up in the meantime.

I wonder if it's a matter of people not wanting to get caught/sued, or if everyone's simply expecting someone else to step up and do the gruntwork.

People who know what they do don't get caught that easily and seriously not for a pdf copy and some legal actions taken from wotc. There are so many easy ways to hide yourself when it comes to pirating and publishing things that i seriously do not understand why people get caught publishing illegal pdf files. People getting caught simply have not invested enough criminal energy in doing stuff. Don't get me wrong on that - i do not like pirates. I just am a curious guy with enough background knowledge and brain to use to grasp the fact that getting caught is an error you can seriously avoid if you invest enough energy into it. Thats my point.

Now i'm on to work. And please, don't send me pm in hope of getting a copy of my pdf - it will seriously not happen. I'm no pirate. Right now i have a argument with a company who uses my board style for a browsergame illegaly. They removed my copyright and claim they did it. Thats so lol - i can't even think about it without shaking my head.

I won't be picking up a copy of the book till Origins, likely as a book for judging. I subscribe to DDI so I'll just glean what I need from there and wait for the book a few months. A PDF copy would be nice at the same time, my laptop is far easier to carry around than the evergrowing stack of books but that's apparently not what wotc wants us to be able to do.

Well, it has been three days and it hasn't hit the public torrent sites yet, so I guess that majority of the respondents to the poll are wrong.

I'm frankly amazed.

I didn't vote, but I was expecting <24 hours.

I did, for <24 hours. Looks like I was wrong. What was the bet again?
