How many people do you really think there are that actually think that they own their DDB not-actually-a-real-book? That not only didn't read the ToS, but also simply *don't know how digital anythings actually work, but yet are there, on their computer, buying digital things?I don't think you'll find that it's very many people. People may be fools, but their not that sort of fool. They're the kind of fool that KNOWS THOSE THINGS, BUT BUYS THEM ANYWAY. And then complains when they get taken away.Or in other words: The "trick" is much deeper than you're thinking, and WotC is hardly the one who invented it, nor are they particularly taking advantage of it in any meaningful way.</blockquote>
