Okay, they got slammed on the first day, yes. But unless you started playtesting TODAY, by tomorrow they'll probably be able to download it. You're gonna kick John out of your game 'cause he got the documents a day late?Considering that not everyone who signs up will get a copy, I find this a silly and pedantic idea. Sorry my best friend John, you can't play with us because Wizards says I can't show you the playtest. We'll just shun you for the next few months because we'll all be talking about the playtest stuff, and we can't say it around you.
But EITHER way, it's not about what's logical, or what people will actually do, it's about what's legally defensible. When you have a major corporation at your back, all you need is a small foothold for your lawyers to use to stop infringement, duplication, unauthorized sales or other shenanigans. You want silly and pedantic? I give you the entire legal universe. Most of the time when you see a ridiculous piece of contract law, it's because someone tried it, and probably got away with it.
