Hi Thomas.... I'd just like to ask you what your idea of a small company really is? Well, I can honestly tell you, that we ARE a small company. Sure, we're bigger that when we started with only 8 employees. Now we have 25. In comparison to Meta, where many of use used to work...we are still very small. In regards what DraX said about warez sites, we have ligitimate proof that there were an astounding amount of sites distributing P4 & PPP. Luckily, a vast majority of these have been shut down, and it was not an easy process. I know that some people are very upset about the security measures we are implementing, but it's really not going to be as bad as you think; certainly not worth boycotting the products. But if that is what you wish to do, how can we talk you out of it? All we can do is thank our customers for their support and continue to listen to what they have to say. We are working hard to improve the product you all use every day, and a lot of these improvements are based on what YOU have asked for. There are many other companies that have had to do similiar security protection methods. People complain at first and then they deal with it just fine. Maybe you think you are being terribly inconvenienced by the choices we have made and we are sorry you feel that way. But we have made these choices in order to survive as a small company and still be able to offer you a fantastic product at a very reasonable price. Please think about it that way if you can. Again, thanks to all of you who have been supporting us. Regards, Karen Carpenter Editor, Curious Lab Report
