[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8679962, member: 4348"] I am going to agree with those saying that DTRPG technically have a monopoly over PDF RPG sales over the internet that you can keep on your account and download over and over again. HOWEVER, I ALSO THINK that they should be allowed to use whatever policies they want as long as it is non-discriminatory over the general typical lines of thought (so, equality along gender, racial, ethnic, sexual, religious, age, disability, etc). They are not a government. They are not a public utility. They are a business and what is on their property is ON PRIVATE PROPERTY that the business owns. They ALSO have RIGHTS and can exercise them. They do not have to put up with things on their OWN PRIVATE PROPERTY that they do not want to put up with. It is the same thing I saw over the pandemic where people feel that they can simply disregard a store's policies towards masks and social distancing. They never stopped to consider that the store itself was private property. Sure, it may be a public business, but it still the private property of the business itself. It is NOT your Government property or anything else in that line. Screaming at employees, abusing the others there, and other aggressive actions against them is not necessarily a right you are granted. In addition, if you declare you hate their products or their store, level lawsuits, etc and they don't like you, as it IS their private property, I do not see why they should not be allowed to ban you from their property. I think this is more a property rights issue than anything else. As long as it is their private property, I feel they should be allowed to do what they want (within reason of course, following the laws of whichever land or nation they are in) with their own private property under the hold of the business that possesses it. I love that there are sites which allow us the freedom to discuss things (once again, normally within reason, but they allow a LOT of freedom in their with their discussions, such as ENWorld), but that doesn't mean we can just go willy nilly and do what we want with others property.
