When the gnomeregan poster first came out they offered a high-res downloadable version. I grabbed it, stuck it on a memory stick and had it a professional print done on A3 which I then had framed.
The print cost me all of 17ZAR but the framing was almost 350 ZAR. I am very happy with the result and it hangs in a spot of pride in my home, and was very grateful to blizzard for offering the print-quality version.
This looks like a solid expansion on that - and I would be very tempted to buy from them in future except that with shipping and exchange rate costs it would be a major fortune for me to get the posters this way, and I still would have the large cost of framing them.
So if I ever feel the two framed posters that grace my living room walls (one is the gnomeregan, the other is an official ACDC/Ironman2 poster which was handed out to those of us attending the first night showing here) then I may simply have to look for things already available locally.
Still kudo's on this one, as somebody with one of their best poster-ideas already gracing my walls, I think it's a clear case of offering a service many users would want.
PS. As it happens when I went to pick up the print, the girl behind me in line said: Hey that's a WoW poster - what server you on ? We had a very fun chat about our characters while her boyfriend stood with that patient accepting boredom usually reserved for the faces of golf-widdows :P

Because breaking copyright law is awesome, right?

It isn't breaking copyright law to make a single copy for personal, non-commercial use. Fair use explicitly allows me to do that.

@RetPallyJil
If they offered a high-res downloadable version I can't see how downloading it and printing it is "breaking copyright law"? And I do believe that you are always allowed to copy for private use....
Wish I had dled it when it first was offered - I love the poster!

Jil - any copyright laws broken in the production of the Crusader Jilara poster you linked above?
Just wondering... it's gotta be a bad on both of you, or neither. :)
