We could go on and on on this one.

I dont see the harm in printing out a few pages of a manual from an office.If you use the office for full a on hundred and fifty page pages color strategy guide or something then thats a bit much.But printing a couple of prime pages for a friend is not a big deal.

Don't you see that this is exactly the same sort of arguement used by people who pirate software. I'm not condmening you printing out a manual, but it is interesting to see what types if "theft" people are worked up about. I use "" as technically, only printing the manual is theft, downloading and playing a game is not a criminal offence.

Charles,

Ok, to clarify...
ORIGINAL: Charles_22
I downloaded WITP some time back, and I've heard a few things about this process, which I have no idea if they are tRUe or not, so please clarify the following:

A) You are given 30 days to burn another copy to a cd. Why not afterwards? And how could I have been sure I wouldn't be charged again?

This is not true. You have thirty days after purchase to re-download if you lost your download. Once you have your download, you can burn it to CD at any point. I'd recommend making a CD backup and testing it as soon as you've downloaded, but if you want to burn it to CD 90 days after purchase, you're free to do so and it has nothing to do with us.

Please also note that if at any time you decide you want to order a backup CD, you can go back to the store and through the Customer Service link order a backup copy for a game you already downloaded for just the cost of the backup.
B) The download to your computer, if burned to a cd, if then installed to a computer without WITP (say it was unistalled by accident) will not work properly.

Nope, this is not true either. As long as you have your serial number, the download will work.
I'm hoping I can burn a copy to my cd, and within the 30 days of the purchase I wasn't versed on burning cd's so I did nothing. Will burning this to a cd later succeed should it need by installed from that cd again?

Sure, no problem. Please let the people who told you this also know the truth. Thanks.

Regards,

- Erik
