They're providing valuable content at a price point so attractive that filesharing is a waste of time. Most people inherently put a value on their time, even if they aren't consciously aware of what that value is.RPGNow charges very reasonable prices for the PDF downloads. In contrast, the act of searching P2P networks, trying to download, waiting for the whole thing, and then having to check to see if the document is worth keeping just isn't worth it for something you could get for $3.99 with instant download. With RPGNow's prices, even kids with a small allowance from their parents can afford to get something every once in awhile (granted, they need permission, yadda, yadda, yadda... but I think the point is still valid).DriveThruRPG has a good many PDFs that I would love to download, and I'm more inclined to do so now that DRM is being phased out (I still won't buy anything on the site that has DRM included), but price is still a major issue. I might buy something that I can't find in print (either locally or on, say, Amazon.com) but as long as a PDF is the same price as the printed work, I'd rather have the hard copy.Still, kudos to DTRPG. This is a major step in the right direction, and I applaud their efforts to reach out to me as a potential customer. I will be paying closer attention to them from now on.</blockquote>
