I admit it sounds pretty bad if people without Internet access have to write a letter to Curious for permission to use the software they just bought. I never had to register a piece of software BEFORE getting permission to use it, although I do register software AFTER I have been using it for a week or two. The flaw I see is that the wares dudes will be IM'ing various challenge and response codes to each other a few minutes you guys send out the first ones. So I don't see how it would thwart the wares copies.
