Price the book so high that not a single person will buy it. That way, there isn't anyone to actually put it on the net.Until someone scans it themselves...I posted this same thing on AtS' board:FFG, and every other publisher, has two choices: They can make the PDF available for a reasonable price, and make a few bucks, or they can set back and watch it get downloaded for free. They stand to make money one way, but not the other.Either they can create the PDF, or wait for a pirate to scan it himself and disperse it to the masses.I'd much rather pay $5.00-$10.00 for a sharp high resolution PDF from FFG, and have the satisfaction of knowing that my money is going to a company I like. However, with a $50 price tag, I can live with a lesser quality version for free, obtained from a "questionable" source.And, having already paid $50 for the print book, I don't feel the least bit guilty. I could scan it myself, but I don't have the time or equipment. If another person is willing to do the work for me, great.I am, however, a little sad that FFG didn't give me the oportunity to pay a REASONABLE price for it.Now, all that said, I say these things knowing a copy of the book is sitting on my game table as I type this. I wouldn't download it if I didn't already own it. Support FFG folks, that's the only way we'll get more product, and they deserve it for the awesome job they've done.</blockquote>
