Part of management a bunch of years ago may have been back when they first pulled the PDFs, but nobody these days.  They've been selling and distributing stuff electronically for years now - DDI with 4E and the online magazines, the whole of dndclassics.com with hundreds of PDFs, the free basic rules.WotC isn't afraid of piracy. It's very, very comfortable with and competent at large scale digital content in PDF format, has had great success with it, and has been for a long time now.The only aberration in this otherwise consistent pattern for the last half decade is 5E.And that's about a belief that such things would undercut current physical sales. I believe they're wrong about that, but that's the reason; piracy doesn't come into it. Pressure from retailers and distributors is likely a much larger factor, neither of whom have traditionally embraced the idea of non brick & mortar sales. Hell, they're not keen when you simply sell your physical wares online, let alone digital versions of it!That's also why DungeonScape was pulled, according to Trapdoor staff who posted as such here before editing out the post!</blockquote>
