Someone is headed for the naughty list...

Apparently one of you guys have posted a Pathfinder Beta on the [redacted] file download site (along with assorted other stuff KOBOLD MONTHLY, DRAGON, DUNGEON, TSR stuff, WOTC stuff, ect)...shame on you. I hope you get banned. :(

While I dont find the beta that big an issue, it was free posting that site and info is prob not a good thing. I know paizo did not want folks shearing the beta like that, however it was a free item. Not a whole lot diff then printing out a bunch and handing em out. The ther stuff which was not free is a bigger issue

I would go back and edit the site out as paizo has a policy about posting where you can get such things.

I'll leave that to gary the postmonster - that way he'll be aware of the address before he does edit.

I edited yellowdingo's post to remove the specific website name. FYI, we are aware of these sites and check them regularly, but thanks for the heads-up.

Yes, Frank Stallone

Free as in beer, yes. Not free to distribute though, and still covered by the full force of copyright law.

As a person who believes in the creative commons, and copyleft....I have to say I hate when people don't make that distinction.

If a work is given/sold under a license of any sort, that license should be respected.
