It matters zero that they weren't charging for it. In fact, not charging for it can often be worse, because it means that people have no reason not to consume the infringing material!You need to understand the difference yourself before you can make statements like that.How awesome of you to get offended on their behalf! I bet they really appreciate you guessing at their emotions and then using your guess to capitalize on an argument!Yes, what a colossal sacrifice we fans made playing a game without having to pay for it.He didn't respect WotC's rights - rights they are legally and ethically entitled to. Why should WotC offer him some kind of special respect towards his non-existent rights?It doesn't matter. You don't get to take their creative material, "fix" it for them, and turn around and distribute it for free. That's not something that you have the moral or legal right to do.No, it isn't. A free character generator can cannibalize book sales if players who might have otherwise purchased the book to guide them through character generation instead go to the free character builder to have it do that for them. And, more importantly, that's not your call to make. It doesn't matter if you think their decision is dumb, it's their right to make that decision, and no matter what decision they make, it's going to be an ethical one.Wow. Holy wow. Yeah, again, people who clearly are not part of a company's fan base and have not been a part of that fan base for the better part of a decade probably should avoid speaking for that fan base while pretending to be part of it.My god. Please stop.</blockquote>
