[QUOTE="Vanuslux, post: 4293392, member: 937"] I'm fairly anti-piracy now that for most things there's legal alternatives. For $10 a month, I can listen to all the music I want on Rhapsody. For $10 a month, Netflix satisfies my movies needs. I use Gamefly for my video game fix. I'm a big fan of legal RPG PDF sites when it comes to third-party stuff. Unfortunately, those sites are a pay per download model and much of the mainstream stuff is grossly overpriced. Do I pay $20 for a physical copy of a WotC book via Amazon, or $30 for a ditigal copy from drivethrurpg? Let me think about that...hmmm... Anyway, yes, it is illegal to download PDFs of books you own but hopefully someday there will be a reasonable legal alternative to having to do so. WotC was actually planning one for a bit there, but it seems they've back-pedalled on the whole cheap PDF copies of books you own thing...so, as far as I'm concerned...do what you gotta do. Of course, I'm just some idiot with an internet connection, not the law. [/QUOTE]
