Here's some gratuitous advice for CL. 1) Never inconvenience a customer. Save falling-out between partners, no other reason causes so many failures. CL should immediately drop its "security" plans if it wants to survive. 2) A good product builds repeat business. "Eyewash" or self-serving upgrades don't cut it. CL should concentrate on their product quality. 3) "Fleas are good for a dog ... keeps his mind off being a dog" It may just be that warez sites keep would-be competitors at bay. I doubt all PPP sales on warez sites would have been CL customers. Ever thought that maybe the problem is that PPP is not as "hot" as CL would like to think it is?
