Corporations = truly evil, because all they care about is *profit*, with absolutely no social responsibility and damn little to stop them. See current crisis as proof.Now, as another bit to show why copyright etc is all lunatic now...In a few years time, they'll have DVDs with a capacity of over 1000 gigabytes (seriously). Think about that...you could have 100 HD movies on ONE disc.Now, why the hell should I have to pay for individual films at say $10 each, or as I@m sure the rat-pukes will try to do, 100 films on 1 disc for $500 or so...we should be getting 100 films, Of OUR CHOICE, burned to disc, or entire catalogue sof 1 star or studio for $10.Why? cause they are old, cause the tech means we'll one day be able to have entire collections of all works on one storage unit so why the blazes should we pay for every item except for a few cents (you wanna pay $10,000 for a bloody single DVD?!)...and we, as cosnumers need to stop being lead by the nose and robbed! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />It'a a digitla age folks! wake up.One day you'll be able to take a pciture of any object and a mahcine build it for you..so how the hell cna oyu own "copyrights"? tell you a better method of artist's payment:Here in UK, any venue that plays music has to by a license, this license money is paid to artists. Everyone profits.Same with other art could be done.You pay your subscription fee, that goes to the artists *Not* corporate ghouls. Bonus for every download so more poopular/good you are, more you earn.This solves both models of support! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />So, for WOTC, you pay them your DDI or whatever subscription fee and should get PDFs of *every* WOTC item. Not too long until books are largely replaced by electronic books, this saves WOTC printing and distribution costs.We cannot stop priacy, it's impossible, except by draocnian,evil actions that are the antithesis of modern, democratic, decent governance (which is exaclty what the RIAA and their ilk are trying to screw with! Way to go fining grannies for $25,000! Searches without warrants, etc).non-commericla piracy IS good civil disobedience. Make them all heed our will and give us digital art at prices we agree with.Digital = not using up finite physical resources.</blockquote>
