A couple of points: 1) Technically, you can use it on multiple machines at one time. You only need the CD in the drive to startup the program, so legalities aside, it's really not the issue. Regardless, you shouldn't have to buy more than one copy of software for one computer, which is what I have. 2) From what I understand about their copy protection, each CD has it's own signature, so you have to use the original CD you installed with. So multiple copies would still not help. Dillinger, what is it you have against your fellow artists, that you'd side with a software company that has to be badgered into giving it's endusers what is rightfully theirs. Yes, I'll admit that it would be nice to copy the CD - but you're right. They don't have to make it copyable if they don't want to. However, LipsInc showed a significant amount of disregard for our needs when the Damaged CD issue was first brought up. I'd be happy to send you a copy of my correspondence with them. You'll see that piracy paranoia ruled to the point that we were clearly not considered in the equation. We shouldn't have to, but in this world we need to fight for what's ours and what we want. Let me put it this way, if we can get them to make it easier on us to do our job, why shouldn't we ask. The worst they could do is say is no. And the worst that we can do is discontinue using their services. Asking for more is no reason for name calling. Especially when it doesn't directly effect you.
