Thinking about getting a DDI subscription for the group

[Keefe the Thief]

Our group bought a shared account recently and we dont look back. Really useful for all of us, DMs and players alike. We don´t have any problems currently with using it from different computers.

Make sure you absolutely trust the people you give the password to. Remember if you buy it ultimately it's your name on the line not theirs.

And don't use the same password you use for internet banking!

...sharing the digital magazine files could be considered illegal firesharing.

My emphasis.

This slight misspelling had me laughing, thinking of stone-age-humans illegally sharing the gods "gift of fire" between themselves. Actually, the analogy is pretty good, as fire, like data files, can be freely shared and is not a limited resource unless you make it so. Suddenly Zeus' staking out Prometheus (the titan that brought fire to man) to have his liver eaten takes on an entirely new aspect.

I'm absolutely not nitpicking here, the spelling is a common mistake. And I often find that its these slight mistakes in copying or rendition that bring new ideas and insights. Like when I base a scenario on a book I read 20 years ago, then return to read the book and get disappointed - the version in my memory was much better!

That's actually a really insightful analogy.
