All this concern over a scratched CD is kind of funny. How many of you have scratched CD's? Let's see a show of hands? Now, I'll admit that 3d is a hobby of mine and not a profession, but I am in real estate and use a variety of software that requires the CD's, which I've been changing and changing over and over and I've never had a problem. They have to protect themselves; you can't trust a consumer. Look at what mp3 has become--anybody can download any song and the artist, the one doing all the work, is hurt. If this policy does put Lipsinc out of business, like some of you suggest, that would really stink because I just got the software and like the way it works. And if you do have a problem with a lot of scratched CD's, I suggest buying a CD repair kit.
