Re: Locklizard

You seem to be misunderstanding my stance on this. At no time do I condone piracy for IE workbooks, I have paid for in full every single of training material that I used.

What I am trying to say is that the workbooks are going to be pirated no matter which way you go about it and I feel that the approach that INE have of simply not using DRM in the first place is the correct one, it means I can sign into my members page, download the PDF and use it however I choose (Android, iOS, Mac, PC, Print) and am not limited in how many devices or in the PDF reader I must use.
