For us poor students on the other side of the Atlantic it would be really, really sad if someone broke copyright laws and posted the beta on the internet. That would be so sad.
I'd rather you didn't barefacedly ask for pirated copies on the forum. It's disrespectful to the people who worked on it.
Agreed but it does shown insight into how the modern consumer works. With the book being in the wild for any extended time without people being able to make legit pre-orders it pushes people towards these bad options.
Nah, it doesn't "push" anyone. People just have to get over their "I want it now!" freeloader mentality. If you can't wait for the actual book and *pay for it*, you don't deserve a copy of anything.
