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

Posted by Soulskill on 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."

    Plus, loudly announcing at parties that you are boycotting D&D is a great way to score points with hot chicks!

    I've never bought anything from WotC, and I never intend to, despite the fact their rule sets inspired many old computer strategy games. I'm pretty sure anybody out there that actually has a life is already effective boycotting D&D too...
