#31 Considering this security measure will cause more problems for people who have bought the program than those who use a cracked version wont this worsen the problem with warez? In the end legitimate users pay for this protection twice, first we have to pay the extra costs these protective measures adds to the price tag of the software. Measures that consistently have never worked I might add. And then we have to pay for the inconvenience that the warez people don't even have to deal with because they have a crack for it. It would seem most everybody here has a valid complaint, and Curious Labs should consider if the measures they have chosen might not have the reverse effect of making cracked versions more attractive then legitimate ones. In the end you are punishing those of us that are legitimate users and not the people who are committing this crime. Please dont insult our intelligence by saying its not so or that the security measures you have taken are uncrackable. Find a different way to deal with the problem that is less problematic for paying users. Reward those who turn in people distributing warez. Please dont solve the security problems by handing a new set of problems to the paying user because it is convenient.
