[QUOTE="soulforge, post: 2480240, member: 14030"] I'm not sure if I would personally roll my eyes and continue on. I fall more into the realm of guy who downloads in order to see if I like something in order to purchase it. Truse me I love supporting the industry, and there is something to be said for a "pure" hardbound copy of a book I use. This said each night I deal w/ ppl in my group pulling out prestiges, spells, and feats from their D&D self-compiled DVD. I hate this fact, but w/o disbanding my friends who I've gamed w/ for 10 years I'm just gonna swallow my dislike and let them do what they wish. If I illegally download a book and decide I don't like it then it gets trashed... one reason is the fact that I didn't like it, and secondly even if it has some stuff I may wish to use I really don't like using something that I haven't purchased. That said if an option was available to pay "What I felt" was reasonable then I can easily see myself tossing a few bucks someones way to use the monsters, traps, or magic items from a book. Now, I'm not saying this will work for everyone. I think my concious weights to heavily on me to allow me to use something that I haven't paid for, and most pirates might not feel that way. [/QUOTE]
