I hardly doubt that many people
would be returning the product if they found out it needed to be
activated
after they had already paid money for it.
I'm a real world example of the problem. I am a musician with a home
recording studio. And I completely refuse to do business with certain
of the big players in the audio software business because their copy
protection schemes place me in the untenable position of putting more
importance on THEIR copyrights than on my OWN. There are circumstances
with software licensing that I cannot enter into. These companies have
their products being flagrantly distributed, after they have taken such
draconian measures as to alienate their own market. The irony seems to
be toally lost on the vendors.
