Ted, I think you're being a _little_ harsh with Perry. First of all I
agree that it very well may inhibit the sales of his new game when people
find out about the registration. However, Perry (ASDG) is trying to find a
reasonable, workable way that profits both the Amiga community and ASDG and
other developers as well. We all know that the time and money that goes
into writing copy protection for any product is basically an effort in
futility as the stuff is broken 5 minutes after it's out the door and
sometimes before.
Perry left his message to get a feel of what 10,000 Amiga Forum members
think about this _possible_ form of trying to protect the game from rampant
piracy. If he didn't give a damn he would just protect it in whatever way
he chose and the heck with everyone.
Maybe Perry's biggest fault is that he cares to much about the people who
buy his commercial products as well as things like the RRD. Maybe he
should just be like so many other companies and just not care at all.

Marlene, I just don't see this whole subject in the innocent manner that
you describe. It reminds me of the attitude of oil companies or public
utilities. "Because you are our customers, we want you to work with us to
find ways to make your life more difficult and expensive so that we can
have more profits and be less flexible and responsive to customer
desires." I'm sure these are not Perry's motives but the result is the
same.
I will let you good folks spend all the time you want on this, as I've been
warned. I will probably not even go near Perry's game.
I just hope he has a good attorney when the law suits roll in for a game
that does not perform as advertised because of hidden obligations.
