[QUOTE="xechnao, post: 4679347, member: 58105"] Kinko or printers is a service. It does not retain any copyrighted work so there is no distribution involved. It just transforms it. Third parties involved in the distribution is the problem, not in transformation. I think. Similarly there could be a service that scanned your books for a lower cost than buying that pdf. If such a thing would exist Wotc would immediately drop the prices of any pdf you purchased if you already owned a book. I think both sides here, that is all of you guys, have a point in this discussion. So I guess it goes down to be a matter of personal choice. Personal choice regarding how you want to support Wotc and how you can afford it. This is also true for the interests of someone here in the thread that said he is a poet. If you go on the aggressive and accuse people of selfishness you lose points on their desire to support you. Human society is way more complicated. You may be the best it can be but you also have to know how to promote yourself or your work to others or better say how to communicate with others. This is more important than the work itself if you expect some personal reward. I believe it is easy to understand this. [/QUOTE]
