I use the Web of Trust as a safe browsing tool. It helps to make sure that link that I see really is going to someplace trustworthy or warns me about sites - ahem - that may be less than wholesome. It's got a plug in for just about every browser, and it quietly sits in the background and just works.
I also feel good about rating sites I use and trust, and if I find a site that might have broken that trust, I rate it accordingly. I've recently started using it to flag the unethical status of some magic revelation sites. Unethical is one of the flags available in Web of Trust, which certainly seems appropriate. Some of these sites are making available to anybody MATERIAL WHICH I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR. People shouldn't just be able to download it for free. For example, today I was searching for a list of the various changes available on Richard Sanders Extreme Burn 2.0. I own the product, but I wanted a list of titles available. A Google Search revealed the whole darned disk available, so I marked the jerk's website accordingly. That little blot on their record won't stop them, of course. But it makes me feel a little better.

Maybe you are genuine and just misguided. You've just posted a link on a magic forum to a site that gives away stolen magic. Youve done it in a round a about way but the end result is the same. Way to go to combat piracy. Think!! Use your brain!! It's the thing rattling around between your ears when you shake your head! What do you think is going to happen when certain folks follow your link? Duh?

For the record, what was the search term you used that brought that site up 'accidentaly'. I paid for extreme burn and when I put it into google, nowhere does that site come up.
