So, let me get this straight: WotC is so worried about people breaking their copyrights that they've now made it impossible to get their digital products without breaking their copyrights, and this is supposed to help matters?
I'm going with the tinfoil brigade here and assuming they want to distribute their PDF products only from a webstore they own themselves, possibly with DRM included. (Hey, the first half of that works for http://e23.sjgames.com]SJGames, and who cares about DRM? )
Meanwhile... Must remember to pull back a copy of the Exalted core rules sometime this weekend.
