I do not know if it has cost us dollars. I doubt that Draw Plus is much
use if you don't have the manual. I'm against protection of productivity
software of anykind. I like the keyword system for games, and I do agree
that games may need some form of protection. But a person depending on a
software product for their livelyhood cannot, shouldnot be subject to the
whims of a single copy. We have had alot of customer loyalty because of
our stand. My original premise for our stand was that a multitasking
computer has diminished value if software prevented multitasking, this is
still true today.
How far is it possible to go with keyword protection, in a mass market
situation?
The ultimate keyword protection would be an individual keyword for each
copy of the program. But, the frustration that pirates would face, would
cause them to remove the keyword check.
