Why though? Why go through the trouble for zero benefit? Not like you’re going to get the support contract that’s tied to these paid, enterprise-level versions.
At least it’s not one of those stupid “reaction face” thumbnails. A clickbait title is easy enough to parse as “not worth my time” but those punchable face thumbnails? Fuck me, the person that started that trend needs to find the nearest running belt sander and start licking.
No real harm, but it’s one more account to manage/worry about.

Multiple copies from multiple sources, strip down to just text, run a comparison. Won’t tell you if you have a “perfect” copy, only whether or not what you have matches what is published. Remember that even when purchasing, books often have typos and minor errors.
CO and Paradox are a public joke at this point. The only value they bring to the gaming community these days is the entertainment derived from shitting on their inept public relations.
Interesting sales tactic, but that still makes this post basically a giant advertisement. Also LOL @ them being butthurt they couldn’t make a living off of this a few years ago so they got mad and put it away.
It’s so weird seeing just how much of the internet has transitioned into the “Fuck you, pay me” model.
