[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 4661149, member: 23977"] I'm still saying you're jumping to conclusions based on lack of info. We know a cease and Desist letter was sent. We know the site was taken down in response. We have no idea what was in the letter, or what actions promted the letter. If d20srd.org had started posting parts of the books that weren't considered OGL (like say certain spell names, or the beholder or mindflayer stats) and was sent a C&D letter would you draw the same conclusion? That WoTC was now on the warpath against online rules sites? Nothing in this situation supports what you're saying unless you make the leap. You could just as easily say Ema's was actually hosting pirated pdfs available for download to certain members that knew about it, and have the same amount of evidence to back it up. The whole thing could be as simple as WoTC sent the letter and told them what was offending, but fixing it was more trouble them ema considered worth it. Just seems to me that making claims like that serve no purpose other then spreading rumors and fear. Which ultimately hurts the game community. [/QUOTE]
