Ok, for everyone that's supported the idea of the proposed change, there seems to be this general ignoring of a certain point: it's the principle! This is compromising privacy, conveniency, and is generally annoying. We don't want to have to go through this hassle, and yes, like some, I don't have those expensive programs that hassle you. I can't afford them, I'll be the first to admit it, but it's the principle here that makes me not like this system (on top of potential problems). All of these door analogies are driving the point home, but CL doesn't seem to see the point, or at least don't agree with it. This isn't a $5000 piece of software, this is a $200 one, and well, this is quite a security measure for its price range, especially considering that it won't work. No security is infallible. It may delay warez copies, but it won't prevent them. Besides, would those people have bought it anyway? I don't want to jump through hoops. I don't want a program hiding information on my computer. I don't want a program keeping tabs on what I do to my comptuer. I don't want my privacy to be compromised. I REALLY don't want to have to get permission to reinstall if I change my system around "more [times] than is reasonable" (and I do). That amounts to looking for another solution for my hobby. It's that simple, although I wish it wasn't, since I really like the product. And to anyone wondering about my Cooper reference, read Mark Twain's criticisms on James Fenimore Cooper. It's a riot! (Although, it helps to have read Cooper first. :))
