Most Wealthy people would not do so, so we would have very small independant games...and the hobby would be all but destroyed...it would be the final nail in the coffin.to put this in prospective...imagin working your job for 40 hours aweek, giving your all, and never slacking...then not getting paid for it. What could possible make you go back day and day and week and week?If I wrote a rpg book, and it took me 3 months to write playtest and have it printed (what you din't know I was the flash?) then I looked at that 3 months as 12 weeks...40 hrs per week...480 hours...if I need to make $12 an hour to keep my faamily feed (I guess it might be possible...) that means I need to make $5,760 proffit (over cost to make and print) just to stay afloat. So if I make $10 per book profit (That sounds high, but it makes the math simple). I need to sell atleast 576 books.  If I sell 300 books, but someone puts it up for free and 300 people down load  it...well then I can nolonger afford to make books...hopefuly noone wanted a sequal...</blockquote>
