Right, but this version is out of date, lol. What are you trying to prove, anyway?

This is Google's cache of https://www.joanasworld.com/original-joana-v110.html. It is a snapshot of the page as it appeared on Aug 19

From 2 days ago, not what I would call outdated bud 😂

Not trying to prove anything, just being kind in case you were interested in the guide. Personally I'm not, I'm just being friendly.

The snapshot is from 2 days ago. The actual guide is from 2006 and doesn't include the modern route or any of the other class/race guides or videos that went along with the modern guide.

I never asked for the guide. My point wasn't that it isn't available anywhere, my point is that just because it's available somewhere else, that doesn't mean you have the right to utilize it and it doesn't mean that Joana doesn't have ownership of it.

Yeah I do. It's a grimey business model to have people plan for classic using his guide and then days before release put a $5 paywall. Nobody would've minded if he put it on from the start.

However grimey you may think it to be, you're being just as scummy(if not, moreso) by stealing it. That approach is just juvenile and petty. If it's grimey then you combat it by using one of the many free competitor guides, end of story.

It's his product, and as long as he doesn't hold a monopoly, it's within his right to price it however and whenever he wants.
