[QUOTE="francisca, post: 1592072, member: 9734"] Well, up until a few days ago, there weren't any DRM protected RPG files to be cracked, as far as I know. If they start showing up on the P2P channels, well there you go. But I think we'll all be dead before someone presents you with statistical data which shows piracy frequency for DRM vs. non-DRM pdfs. I mean, part of the game for these jokers is to not get caught, right? Say you went to a P2P host and snarfed a copy of a pdf which was originally marketed on RPGNow, but is now exclusivley on DriveByRPG. Unless the author altered it when it moved, I don't think you could tell. On second thought, let me go check my notes on the last project I did with DRM. I'm not fully aware of how the tools which remove DRM work. Do they only nullify the DRM stuff, or is it actually snipped out? I know other non-tool ways (bad description, sorry) to get a DRM-free pdf leave no trace. John, I know you aren't a techie, so these are open questions. [/QUOTE]
