I've already pre-ordered P5 so I'm stuck with whatever protections scheme CL is running but I'm with Bug on this one, I feel a bit screwed over. After the Pro Pack debacle CL asked us to report warez, because of the hit they took. A lot of people did. What was the result.... an amnesty deal on P4 so people with 'lost' or warezed SN could get a legit number, at a cheaper price than most of us legitimate users payed when we bought it. I voiced my displeasure with CL's decision then along with many other legitimate users. Now P5 is here and WE are having to jump through hoops to use the software we are renting (nice reminder Anthony), while the scum will still hack it, crack it and be using it for free. Then a year or two from now the warez crowd can go legit again at half the cost. All to CL's benifit. Tell me how I'm not supposed to see that as CL giving its customer base a kick in the face?
