So, what with the ridiculous prices on the codices and the BRB put out by GW, do you guys consider it okay for people to utilize pirated codices in casual games, or would you only play with someone if they had Grade A GW-approved rulebooks? Additionally, if you don't like any pirated material in games, would you consider it acceptable if somebody is using it as a way of figuring out which army they want to play before forking out the cash for an actual codex? I'm interested to see where the 40k community's stance on this, especially since pirated material is supposed to be capable of hugely reducing a company's revenue.

Sorry, but this sort of discussion trends to go places that Dakka would prefer to stay out of, for legal reasons.
