Scribd is stupid

Posted By on August 12, 2010

So, I find some house rules for 6mm combat for F.A.D. 4.0 on there (thanks to teh google), but apparently I can’t downloading without registering.. so I do, but then apparently I need to either upload something or pay money. WTF? Luckily, bugmenot had some logins which work.

Is me, or has the level of people with stupidly annoying business models increased in recent years?

      Yeah.. but the thing is, back then, it was getting and sharing things like doom levels or patches for games (which, while copyrighted, the companies don’t mind you distributing). This is only docs.. of course, it explains why there’s so much copyrighted stuff on there.
