In fact, the part you quoted could serve as an answer to yours.Anyway my point is that, even if you choose to ignore the fact that a good half of the book was uploaded and perfectly usable a couple of days after the release, I don't think a week's delay is going to affect many pirates' decision to buy the book or not.Actually I did. That's how I know online retail is much more of a threat. Brick-and-mortar stores simply can't compete with Amazon's discounts. Their only advantage is (generally) earlier delivery. This is why several stores decided to break the release date for 4e. But even then, many gamers just smudge the books in the store and buy them online.And if pdf sales were so substantial as to affect physical book sales, wotc wouldn't have stopped them, would they?Have you (or "a friend of yours") actually downloaded the file? There were some fakes floating around. I'm not sure why anyone would want to foist bad pr0n on gamers but that seems to happen quite a lot.That's a couple of hours (and idle hands…)</blockquote>
