Each of them I expect made and kept a copy and then passed the original PDF on if it was on a flash drive or CD, but it might also have simply been e-mailed to them all straight away or hosted on a private server for them all to download; this is what we  (and WOTC) don't know.The fact one of them then posted the file on the internet as well is just the icing on the cake in this case and is what made it visible to WOTC - the file was (assuming I'm right) already being pirated by all of these various 'local' users.As I said in my first post - best advice currently is stop posting and consult a lawyer.</blockquote>
