I was replying to the person who said look on Kazaa... Personal created _custom_ files wouldn't be on Kazaa now would they?  Let's be real here, you go onto Kazaa to find something, you're looking for an illegal copy of something... Kazaa and other peer to peer softwares had some really great potential, but it's been co-opted by those that would rather pirate than have legitimate uses for it (not entirely, just a general statement of my opinion based on observation)... Let's be clear here a second... If you create your own material, and then share it, that's perfectly fine... you created it, you own it, that simple.  If you create your own files from a WotC book and then share it, that's not fine.  Yes, they're user created, but you don't own the material.There's a lot of fine distinctions in this debate, some of which are undergoing court challenges, some of which probably never will... but we're talking about one thing here, and only one thing... Getting software you didn't pay for.It's theft, it's illegal, it shouldn't be done, but someone will always want something for nothing. *shrug*All we can do as individuals, is not do it ourselves and at least attempt to discourage others from doing it.  But in the end it's a personal decision whether to steal or not. *shrug*</blockquote>
