Piratecat here. They've asked us to clarify that Greg Leeds is referring to PDFs, not physical copies, when they use that figure.That such an ambiguity is left to stand speaks bounds of the quality of this interview. Embarassing, just embarassing.Obviously, all of those people in the 90% figure would have purchased the real thing as opposed to: "oh look here, lemme give it a cursory glance, and then forget it." Brilliant logic, there. Because that's how piracy works: utterly product-committed customers on the way to the cashier, turning left at the last angle.The only thing that is conveyed by the interview is its existence. The heat is on, and they are reacting to it. Not a bad way to go. Not without humour either. "We hope to deter future offender." comes close to "They may be drunkards, Robin, but they're still human." Wheww!But the one to top it all: "The truth is that the world is changing quickly, and as a business we need to be flexible enough to adapt to that changing environment."Yeah, pulling legal PDFs off the market to fight a piracy boom that's been in full swing for YEARS - WotC are certainly on top of modern e-business.</blockquote>
