[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 4742981, member: 10177"] I agree this is stupid. WOTC wants to punish me, and every other legal buyer of PDF's, for what pirate distributors are doing. This in absolutely no way is having any impact whatsoever on the thieves who like to illegally distribute illegal goods. If anything WOTC is increasing the demand for their product! If governments cannot stop the flow of illegal drugs, even when they know exactly where it si coming from, how does WOTC think they are doing anything to stop pirating? All they have done is cut off legitimate and legal customers. All they are doing is taking away our legal options to have digital copies of our books. So all WOTC is doing is screwing over their law abiding customers. All they are doing is increasing demand for illegal copies. All they are doing is being incredibly foolish and insulting to us, their legal customers. The only sensible reason I can see for them doing this to prove how those 8 thieves definitely caused WOTC to lose revenue as a direct result of their piracy. Which is required for successful copyright lawsuits. Still, even so I think this is an incredibly foolish and damaging move, to the point where I think they will regret doing this. [/QUOTE]
