It has nothing to do with money. The fact that you are giving away pirate copies of someone else's material doesn't make it legal. The argument that you are only doing it to be helpful doesn't make it legal.
You are a copyright thief, pure and simple. Just take it down. What if I just posted my glossary as a webpage, and then hyperlinked all the items to the corresponding PDF? I believe if I wrote and published an article about one of their PDF's, I can talk about the contents as long as I don't repeat the game mechanics: i. So for my idea, I would only be mentioning the name of the feat. Additionally, I would be referencing my source, as the hyperlink would go back to the official PDF.
Although the above seems like an acceptable use to me, I suspect there might still be a concern, since I have not seen any websites that reference of the Spell names, Feat names, or Archetype names from any 5e source other than those from the basic game. That tells me if people can't even post a list of available 5e archetypes from all the published sources, then likely my glossary doing the same thing from their free PDF's would also be restricted.
I'm probably better off sending my proposed plan to WotC to confirm what is acceptable, but since there seems to be some very knowledgeable folks here, I thought I might throw the idea out here first before I bother them with it.
Billy Rigby First Post. I really like what you did here. I think Hasbro might have a problem with it, not WotC. But, having all this is one place is great, just remember that in November it will all be printed in their new supplement. So, you might want to take it down before then. I hate having to click through their site just to check out new UA material. Maybe that's the way they want it, more clicks, more views, more profits.
Regardless, this is what I was looking for today. Just something I can print out until that book comes out. It's not relevant if the content is being published later or not. Nor is it pirating to download something freely available. The only issue, as previously mentioned, is that the content is under copyright and I don't know what WotC's policy is on reprinting their free UA articles elsewhere on the internet.

Original electronic Scanned image These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.
The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.
For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book.
Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive. Original electronic format These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable.
Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
