[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 1548858, member: 725"] Yes i did see that, the point that i'm trying to make, in your case, is that your judging after the fact and your on a moral high ground right now. It wouldn't suprise me that within a hundred years copyrights/patents as they exist now will also be viewed as 'wrong', but fifty years ago it was still a necesity. Judging someone is 'wrong' by your own standards is damn easy, but judging whether something is 'wrong' by societies standards is a whole other matter. Partially, i think that speeding is a greater offence then 'piracy', when is the last time you heard someone was killed by downloading copyrighted material? Maybe the fact that people are rebbeling against established laws that tend to only serve megacorps, and are getting ridiculous. Even countries start to review the current situation. Germany is very against the proposed european patent laws, even america is reviewing their current very strict copyright laws. 'piracy' is just the common man's rebellion these days. Malhavoc just hired one of the best known rules mechanics in the D20 business full time, Green Ronin just closed a deal with GW, Mongoose is diferciving into miniature games and comics, not exactly a bad financial situation. And these people make a living by making rpgs. From what i've understood, The Valley of Frozen Tears is nothing more than a 'vanity' project, as are most pdf publications (no D20/OGL pdf publisher earns his living selling pdfs). No offense, but if people who depend on the sales of their products don't take any action, why should a 'vanity' publisher take action? ps. 'vanity' publisher does have a negative ring to it, it isn't meant that way, i just don't have a better term for it. [/QUOTE]
