[QUOTE="MaelStorm, post: 4156432, member: 60104"] There's a problem with internet piracy and it's not by trying to counter the problem by offering unattractive solutions to their customers like thrashing the OGL free database and then come up with a paid subscription subscription service that they will solve this problem. WotC know they've suffered from loss of book sale in the past because of internet piracy. First off you have to acknowledge there's a problem and then look at all the alternative solution to curb this problem. If there are customers out there who still think an illegal PDF is more attractive than their current solution (DDI), then they're not taking full responsibility regarding that problem because they did not use all the existing solution to their advantage. If they could come up with: you can pay 5$ per month for package A (only archive), or you could also pay 10$ per month for package B (archive + magazine) and then if you want everything you can pay 15$ a month for package C. Plus we also have an online store accessible to everyone where you can buy ebooks, then they're offering something for everyone's need, or covering all the base. That's being fully responsible. EDIT: The rest of the crowd that continue to do internet piracy even with all the options I presented above are people that simply would never change their attitude anyway. But WotC would not be responsible for not offering something for everyone's need because they really did all that was in their power regarding that problem. [/QUOTE]
