[QUOTE="TheYeti1775, post: 4881926, member: 20914"] True, but also recognizing the fact at least they are moving in the right direction. While not as far as we would like. I'm willing to watch them take the baby steps needed. The thing is negative feedback alone won't change things. If they see you like a direction, but feel it's not enough they are more likely to act on it than if you just say "thanks for nothing". Really it isn't a policy that effects me at all, as I don't run any 'fan sites' (least not public ones) for D&D. Doesn't mean I'm not willing to, I just remember the darker days of anything looking D&D related got you the big old C&D from TSR. I attribute this policy as much like the current PDF policy. If you make it so fans don't want to agree to it, they will just do it without your permission if they are of the mindset. The only way to get a PDF of a book is to download it from a pirate now. The only way to have a 'fan site' that you distribute (any webpage could be construed as distribution unless you turn off all Cut/Copy/Print permissions) anything is to simply ignore the existing policy. Step towards the right direction, but too unclear if they will continue down that path or have this as a checkbox to their fan request list. [/QUOTE]
