<>You certainly lived up to that promise. Why you elect to be a "real pain" which you were, instead of being frank but businesslike is known only to you.Since you brought up the issue of parental involvement in their children's upbringing, didn't your Mommy and Daddy tell you that if you can't say something nicely, not to say anything at all?Is that "five by five"?Jim

<>OF COURSE they had a reason. Don't you understand that?? You might not agree with their reason but they OBVIOUSLY have one!!! ROFLMAO!<No, sir, in the mind of all but the hopelessly clueless, holding the opinion that piracy cannot be STOPPED, is anything but ludicrous. In fact, it is the irrefutable TRUTH. I am in the music publishing business and have songs that I control placed on over 60 million albums and I can tell you for a FACT, that piracy cannot be stopped.It is nearly a losing battle just to attempt to slow it down.<>Exactly what sense does it make to battle the loss of sales to piracy while alienating quite likely a large segment of your customer and potential customer base by being the "royal pain" that you admit to being?Jim

<>OF COURSE THEY HAVE THAT RIGHT. DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND EVEN THAT?? Most of the posters to this forum live in free countries that have laws similar to the First Amendment in the U.S. Don't you?Jim

Just another viewpoint because no one else has brought this view to the discussion.Using Flight One wrapper system seems to fit the bill for many because it protects the legitimate customers purchase information and is reasonably effective against piracy without intruding on honest customers sensibilties.While there are more effective measures against piracy, some seem to "pay a heavy price" in terms of customer relations because they ARE effective.In either case, each publisher/developer gets to choose the best method for their operation:-)

Okay, this thread is going south / gone south and I am locking it.
