Has anyone seen this? Is it legitimate? I couldn't figure out how to actually download them. 
The article does say that WotC is looking into to it, so it may not be legal.
Link Removed. Do not post links to what are obviously illegal files.

They are hosted on Internet Archive. You need to use the search function to find them. I didn't check to see if all issues are available and they are in individual files. I highly doubt they are legally there since WOTC is looking into it.

The ones that I searched for in the Internet Archive were there and if you right click the link for the PDF on the left hand side and click 'Save As' it will save it to your desired destination! They are also bookmarked it appears and sectioned in the pdf's...Rejoice!

I would think that since paizo still changes for the mags, this stuff isn't legal.

Of course this stuff isn't legal. Digital copies of virtually every RPG book, video game, and pop song ever published are available free on the internet and have been for years. Are they legal? No. There's just so much of it that sometimes the illegal stuff spills onto the honest or semi-legal sites.

I laughed at this all morning. No i do not mean no thanks for my wife. What i meant was my wife is not thankful that i have access to these dragon magazines because i will spend all my time reading them.
That being said sir X if you ARE somehow able to affect wives i may or may not be interested.

I still haven't been able to bend the mind of my own wife, Mcneilk, so she mustn't be weak-willed.  I thinks he is immune to my Enchantments and Charms. The fact that she doesn't partake of wine doesn't help me, either...

Two questions:
Question #1: Is the meaning of this excerpt form the linked article somehow confusing as to its meaning?
| Quote: |
I checked in with Wizards of the Coast and the response was that they "were looking into it." In other words, the downloads have not been reviewed by Wizards of the Coast, which makes it unlikely that Paizo Publishing has been consulted either. This means that the listing of these issues will likely be taken down, as per the Internet Archive's Copyright Policy:
The Internet Archive respects the intellectual property rights and other proprietary rights of others. The Internet Archive may, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, remove certain content or disable access to content that appears to infringe the copyright or other intellectual property rights of others.
This is not the first time a magazine has been put on Internet Archive without contributor or publisher permission... |
Hmmm. I am so NOT confused by that RED bit. I doubt anybody else is either.
Question 2: Are the Forum Rules particularly obtuse or easily misunderstood, specifically the bit mentioned in the third paragraph under "Rules for Safe and Happy Posting"? I don't think that they are.
Just to be clear, if you see something like this, and "Yes, we're WotC, and look at what we are doing for our fans...FOR FREE!!!...and yes, we are AWESOME!!!" isn't plastered all over it, or it originates on a site where anybody can post any sort of files (copyrighted or not) or has a name like Torrentwhores, Pirateshack, Plunderfile, whatever, ya might just want to have a bit of a think on it before posting links to it. Tap into your common sense, folks.
Thread Closed.
