[quote="William Hutton"]Wabe I will be glad to answer you. First I am retireed and made my living working for myself. Never for anyone else. So I think I understand a few things about what you wanting to know for an answer. When I was in business there was enough markup to items I sold to take care of the few that were stolen. Yes I have had many items stolen. Did I worry about them......No if I did I would got paranoid and quit seeling said items. Its just human nature for people to get things that don't belong to them or plainly put stealing. It goes on every day. I would much rather pay a little more for a product from the store and be able to use it as I need instead of paying less and rally get no good from it because we can t save or use in another program. Why do you think I bought Vue Infinite instead of Vue 5... Because it was advertised to do what I wanted at a much higher price. I beleive I and others would be willing to pay more for products if we can use them in other applications and not be tied up like a criminal telling us what we can and can not do once we buy it. :D Its not about protecting ones software but more about controling the customers. I can see why not being able to save material, atmospheres and much more would hurt the store from selling if people were going to be making new ones and giving away for free as has been done at other forums untill the store opened and Vue had to be encrypted. Just have to agree with William here. Very well stated. Theft drives prices up and I might add if it is worth stealing then it only adds to the over all worth of the product and can create an advertisment that goes beyound any add you could buy. It is very hard to change human nature. Best of luck to the Cornucopia team in sorting this out to a positive end. ;o)Wabe please open up your mind and see clearly.
