(muses sadly, mutters something about 'The Narn of Turin')
I suppose then, that the new rule is: 4E, or Nothing. At least, for anyone and everyone new coming into the game of D&D.

huh?
The people actually suffering the consequences are those who legally buy the PDFs.
The harder is for the pirate to put on an ilegal PDF, the more prestige he gets when he does it.
4E PDFs now gained an extra 100 prestige pts per book.

How come? The 4E PDFs are gone a well!
EDIT: Meaning that If you are going to start RPGing you can either buy a physical product (where 2nd hand you can get anything you want, or you can get 4E or other current games new) or you can buy PDF versions, except here you cannot buy 4E or any other DnD. If you were going to start DnD by using PDF (rather than physical product where this has changed nothing) now you have to go Pathfinder, True20 or something else. So this doesn't encourage 4E at all, it discourages newbies from starting any form of DnD at all!
And get your tin foil hats one they have closed down the thread on WotC boards now...Wizards Community - View Single Post - WotC halts sales/downloads from rpgnow.com

Cheers!
Bother, I have to put my hat away. I got it all dirty for nothing!
I have a question, and don't currently have the time to try and read all 20 pages of this thread to see if its been posed so far. :-(
Sorry if its a repeat.
Is it possible that WotC needed to temporarily stop the sales of PDF's to be able to give their case more weight?
I don't know anything about how these cases work, but it was just a thought.
It really just seems like a knee jerk reaction as many people have mentioned already to me.

It is possible, we don't know. WotC hasn't had the common decency to tell their customers anything beyond
Posted on this thread and WotC boards. (thanks Trevor at least it is something!)WotC_Trevor said:

To be fair, if it was a requirement for the lawsuit, they might not be able to reveal that fact.
