[QUOTE="tenkar, post: 4291681, member: 15047"] This would probably fall under Trademark / Copyright Infringement and or Counterfeit Goods. The Motion Picture Industry and the Recording (Music) Industry actively enforce their rights when it comes to their products. Publishers in the book trade have yet to unite to enforce any applicable laws. So no, big brother isn't going to be knocking on your door for downloading PDFs. You are, however, depriving the publisher of any kind of recompense for the PDF that you are using. I'm a big believer in PDFs (as they keep my dead tree collection relatively constant / takes up less space). RPGNow and YourGamesNow get a good portion of my gaming dollar. I'd hate to see publishers shy away from PDFs for fear of piracy. {oh, I am NOT the Erik in question... nor have I played him on TV} [/QUOTE]
