You may remember when, in the not-so-distant past, WotC stopped selling electronic (PDF) versions of its products in an effort to combat piracy. It seems that the company has devised a way to beat the pirates once and for all!
Well, the current problem is that some pirates are simply scanning our books and then putting them online. So we've decided to deal with that issue - by not selling any more books. That way, the pirates will have nothing to copy!
Of course, this does create a minor issue for our actual customers, but we've addressed that. All a customer needs to do is to travel here to Seattle and read our copy of the book. Of course, we can't allow them to copy anything or write anything down, so they'll proably need to pop back whenever they have a rules question.

Not really something I would fall for. I can wotc using some kind of photo-reactive paper that will not copy. Like those temporary driver's licenses you get before your real one arrives by mail.
White Wolf's Offering was better.

Hey, what's the link to your mini website again? Consider popping in your signature.
ON topic: I actually fell for Dudes of Legend 4/1 joke. I saw it on RPG now as the "daily freebee" and was like, ok, for free I'll look... and I was like, "this is so stuupid"
I think it would have been more of a joke if they'd said they were making the pdf's available again. What was put down sounds entirely too plausible given the litiginous nature of the big game companies anymore.

The Internet April Fool's Day jokes have become less about trying to pull a fast one on someone and morphed instead into companies, publications and the like just letting their hair down and putting out an obvious joke since folks will know that it is a joke given the date.
