I'm glad that they require the CD to be in the harddrive and that you can't duplicate it. Perhaps this will stop the thieves and finally allow the developer community to lower their prices. Software thieves will never willingly stop ripping people off. Only measures like this will stop them. Don't buy it. I'm sure they'd prefer losing your business to having it stolen and passed around like leftover Halloween candy. They have assured us that they will replace any CD's that get screwed up. I imagine that this must really piss off people who are used to stealing everything that they want. Obviously they can't complain about that.. so they'll make silly threats about "not buying it" because of the restrictions. Ironically, despite the whining, this will be one of the few pieces of software they actually will buy. If they want it, they have no choice Haha
