CompuServe Messages

Thank you for a well reasoned and articulate message! As a customer it is refreshing to be treated as an ally instead of a criminal. The folks in favor of copy protection seem to think that simply possessing a program will enable someone to become an instant expert, exploiting it for maximum gain at their expense. The idea that someone can sit down and learn a complicated program like Puppeteer without manuals is asinine. It all boils down to the market – who will buy these programs? My guess is that the vast majority of customers are like myself – professional folks who are looking to complete jobs the most efficient way possible. I, for one, don't have time to scam copies of software even if I wanted to (which I don't), let alone time to hack around on the system to make it work. Reasonable companies such as yours, Yost's, and Pyros' understand this and trust us. Thanks. I simply hope that economic Darwinism will force the over-paranoid companies to reassess the way they're doing business. Cheers, John
