Message: <blockquote data-quote="mudbunny" data-source="post: 5192809" data-attributes="member: 56746">A couple of reasons as far as is my guess:1 - MP, as a result of its design, automates the downloading/saving of the Compendium Contents.2 - As a result of the downloading/saving, people who do not have (or never had) a valid DDI subscription can obtain access to the Compendium data.3 - As a result of the downloading/saving, an undue burden is placed upon WotC servers to deal with the requests. As more people hear about MP, the load would increase to the point where people with non-ToS breaking requests might not be able to access the Compendium.4 - It can be argued (whether it is true or not is a different question) that MP was designed with a view to facilitate the sharing of WotC information to those who do not have an up-to-date DDI subscription. That this would be less viable if there were other libraries out there that MP could be pointed at that permitted automated downloading/saving of their data.Now this is all moot as the developer has stated that he is removing the part of MP that resulted in the C&D letter being sent.</blockquote>
