WOTC to release entire D&D back catalog electronically

[Excidium]

That is p. ridiculous.

It seems to have worked though, books only get on the internet at large after the general release without that kind of stuff (though likely because everyone knows the "clean" PDF will get released soon enough that scrubbing it isn't worth the effort).

I'm now glad what downloaded 4 Gb of AD&D 2ed manuals and wrote them to DVD.

P.S.
Ulminati - copyrightfag. Duly noted.

The art in the old D&D books is often amazing. The books are worth it just for the art's sake.

Avast, ye louts! Thar be nay scurvy-ridd'n pirates be allowed ht' flab th'r gob 'bout loot an' such 'n here, lest ye gets ther' walk th' plank!

I'm just wondering; Why is it so? Avoid unwanted attention from , or what? I mean, many companies behave in a very hostile and dishonest way against regular people consumers, and apparently it's a crime to accept a gift from someone who freely shares what he got with others, without wanting anything in return.

Example:
Person A -I bought a couple of fishes from the store. Here, please take one!
Person B -Thanks. I've been looking for something to tastefully rape eat.
The Brazilian Slaughter -JEW can't do that without paying the store! It's a CRIME!

Not wanting to start a discussion about the so-called "piracy" (but maybe, I just did, and then you know exactly where I stand, regarding this matter), I'm just wondering why it is not tolerated. Any moderator care to clarify?

Because it's in the rules of the codex that you agreed to follow when you signed up, even if you didn't bother reading them. Telling people where to get pirated shit is a no-no because we'd rather nip it in the bud than ending up in some sort of grey area until a bunch of kwanzanian lawyers come for DUs beer money. And since I agreed to moderate the gazebo it also means I have to make sure the posts aren't breaking the rules. There's a sticky with them in site feedback if you'd like a refresher.

I can imagine BioWare, Bethesda or the likes searching our forum for a pirate bay link, just to let slip the lawyers of war and forever shut the Codex... we may have made too many shiverring developers as enemies, so it's better to play safe.

Yeah, but the money isn't going to support the people who made them. At best, they'll use the money to publish some popamole D&D lookalike.

Yes, they have nothing better to do, than lurk and plot our demise.

We need to find a place where Codexers can secretly help each other in our piracy, like some hidden forum or some free forum we set up in a far-away eastern european country that only accepts proven codexers.

I know this brazilian comics forum that set-up a SeKret Komics Scans Kommunity in the form of a forum, where they share all the cool scanned comics links. The host is in Romenia, so no worries. I will not tell you the adress publicy, of course, I would have to kill all the Codexers who see it.

Or you do not give a fuck a simply browse /co/

EDIT: I hope writing this wasn't also against the rules. I guess only time will tell if I will suffer the wrath of the noble scion of Hamlet.

Well, I was only curious, that's all. The reason it is, then.
