[QUOTE="rlphay, post: 2537677, member: 7241"] Ok, I can see that there is a few people here that never even bother to go to the CMP web site and see just what it is that they have been doing for the last couple of years since they got the code for etools. It is not even the same product as what was originally released. It is much better, has a ton more features and way less bugs. The databugs are and have been addressed at first on a monthly basis when there was only a few books, but now it s on a bi-monthly basis because there is just to many books to get out monthly. And have the bugs been getting addressed that are posted on the CMP message boards, Just go there and take a look and see for yourself. When the bugs get fixed for the next update, the bug thread is updated and then locked so that it is easy to see which ones have been addressed. ET Helper also has been getting updated with each patch that was released. SOmetimes there might be a delay of a week or 2 before the new version is available after a patch comes out, but it has always gotten done and been released. Heck even in the special ET Helper section on the CMP board that Mynex talked about, if users are having issues or need help with it, there is always someone that jumps in and give a hand. So basically unless you actually want to do some research on a product that you want to talk bad about, you really have nothing valuable to say. It would be like my 4 year old daughter telling me all the bad about a computer program that I just installed onto her computer before she even ran it. So basically here if you do out and buy a book, you feel that you own the rights to do with this book all that you want to. Based on this logic it would be ok for you to buy a copy of a WotC book, scan the entire contents into a pdf file, and then share it with anyone else that ownes a copy of the book. Hey, if you own it then it is ok to share it with anyone else that owns it right? Sure this is not data that is going into a program for use but it is the same information and IP of WotC that you would be sharing, just in a different format. And if you really believe that this is legal, then you are misunderstood. I am also sure that you and I own a couple of music CD's that are the same as well. How about I rip them into MP3 format and then share them with you. Same principle here. Just because you own the product, does not give you the right to share it with anyone else requardless of the format. Just ask Napster. So I am going to go back to fixing bugs with the etools datasets now as that is what I do, reguardless of those that think that etools never gets updated. [/QUOTE]
