[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 4337091, member: 10177"] I know when we sit at games we have "fair use" of our rule books when we share them with fellow players. As far as I can tell I also have "fair use" on line if a PDF is shared with me and I am told to delete it when the campaign is over. Has there been any legal clarification of what is and is not "fair use" over the internet? So far I have not been accepting such PDF's, which I rarely need anyways, since I am such a gaming whore I have pretty much every book published for the games I like. Still, there are times when it would make the gaming a little better if I knew if sharing PDF's in such a manner, and then deleting it when the campaign ends, is still considered "fair use". So what do you publishers know or think about this kind of "use". Does it sound "fair", as long as those who didn't buy the PDF delete it when the game/campaign is over? If you don't think it is fair, what would be considered "fair use" over the internet? I know there are people who don't, or won't delete. So lets leave those who would do things illegally out of this. So for someone like me, who is honest and wants to stay legal, what would be "fair use" of a PDF in a on line game? [/QUOTE]
