"We have placed great emphasis on identifying and fixing issues with the original release of Pro Pack and have included other features such as numerous additionla Python methods and 3DS Max 4 support." -another re-run- Everyone can profess their love for CL and all their employees... (Seriously, for example check out Anthony Hernandez's byline!) they actually work on the weekends (Now they'll have to with this wonderful scheme of theirs. By the way was that a 7, 14 or 30 day grace period? They've used all 3 in their messages)! They actually read and respond to questions! They might actually have read, considered, and implemented user requests for improvements to the program! But... these are the same people that have bugs in P4 that are still not fixed (anyone for a shoe in the crotch?), implemented a "Trojan Horse" (however, benign) without letting us know (oops... they said), and are implementing a new copy protection scheme in a BUG FIX ("identifying and fixing issues with the original release of Pro Pack"). I bought the Pro Pack without this new copy protection scheme and now to get the program to work right I have to subject myself to this? If they want to state right from the beginning of a PP upgrade (Pro Pack 2.0, not FIX) that this copy protection scheme will accompany the upgrade or for P5 that they have implemented this copy protection scheme, then so be it. Buyer Beware. But, in this case the buyer cannot beware. Yea, yea, I'm sure the wonderful CL people would be most willing to give me a refund. Fancy that...so wonderful. This stinks. You know for all the lousy lawsuits that lawyers bring here's a lawsuit waiting to be filed. Judge to CL lawyer: "Now let me get this straight. You are releasing a fix for a defective product and along with that you are forcing something down your customers throats that wasn't there originally, will hinder the usability of the program, and that they don't want? Judgement for the Plaintiff...BANG... Next Case..." (for the rest om my post please go to C&D)
