No More D&D PDFs, Wizards of the Coast Sues 8 File Sharers

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday April 8, 2009 @02:21AM from the perfectly-rational-reactions dept.

An anonymous reader writes "On April 6th, Wizards of the Coast took all of their PDF products offline, including those sold at third-party websites like RPGNow.com. From the RPGNow front page: 'Wizards of the Coast has instructed us to suspend all sales and downloads of Wizards of the Coast titles. Unfortunately, this includes offering download access to previously purchased Wizards of the Coast titles.' Wizards of the Coast also posted a press release to their website that states they are suing eight file sharers for 'copyright infringement,' and WotC_Trevor posted a short explanation about the cessation of PDF sales to the EN World Forums."

If Hasbro is like every other bean-counter-based business, it demands 10-15% growth year over year from its subsidiaries, otherwise no bonuses for executives.

Wow, I guess banks must operate under different rules then. :-(

This is why I love America. No matter who you are or what you do for a living, you're entitled to your own opinion no matter whether or not you actually have any experience or knowledge about said subject. P.S. Macs are lame.
