[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 5366408, member: 2067"] I don't believe you can be arrested for violating a ToC. Last I checked, these things didn't carry the full weight of written law, and police won't show up on your doorstep if you share your DDI sub with your gaming group. Now, WotC might look into revoking your DDI sub if they think that is what happens. And it's possible that they could try and take you to court for some contract violation or something, theoretically (though there's plenty of legal arguments to use against ToC's). But [I]illegal[/I] seems a little scaremongering to me. Now, the broader idea of sharing a sub with a group. Regardless of WotC's actual position (which is certainly not stated at all with this update), it would be kind of dumb for them to invest much energy in chasing down people who share their DDI account. Which is why they don't seem to be doing much to stop it (they warned you that it might cause some issues if you and your friend are working on the same character at the same time). It's still smart business to let your friends sell you D&D, and the DDI. If the goal is more people playing the game, stopping group-sharing is counter to those purposes. At least until the VTT comes along, anyway. ;) [/QUOTE]
