Well i cant let this unanswered.... i assume you know it already but english is not my native language. Sorry if i sound harsh or rude : 1) Well, as far is i know the plugin for Mu-2 (GPS ???) do not work with linux. I pay the full price, get not 100% of the product and perhaps i even know that when its too late. (i know this from other sources than xscenery which is the official contact i BELIEVE!) Your PR is deficent. But this is a very different story and i could live with it (GRR ) 2) Okay this sounds very very adventourus and i am SURE it WILL not happen in this dimension. This kind of speculations you describe as truth looks frivolous by the way. Music industry is clearly shipping AWAY from drm. Lets think about it for a moment: Someone mentioned "digital restriction management". Very accurate: Customers loose their rights completely and are completely regulated by the drm-companies. Of course, you permit unlimited usage of your products, but this is GOODWILL! Tomorrow you can change your oppinion. It would be legal. You just said it: DRM let you lease your software. A huge overshoot to "fight piracy" What is the next step after 5 years when everybody WILL use drm? start and landing fees? if you ask me drm can never be successful as long as it is harware bound. Human BUY (not lease) software, not harware. People do not buy drm music. I do not buy drm whatever! Now its time for me to speculate: How many people you could certainly keep you from piracy with drm? ZERO How many people BOUGHT your planes certainly after they could NOT download them illegal? ZERO How many POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS DID NOT BUY because of drm? TWO. (1 for sure) I would NOT be against DRM IF i get the freedom - to install it on all my computers - to install and uninstall as often is i want - to use it as long as i want (ya your allow that currently i know ... technically you have the power to stop that now) - no drm spyware which CAN (ya i know you dont ^^) control and LIMIT the _LEASING_RIGHTS_ of your software you BOUGHT! Did you know about ebooks and Amazons "kindle" in germany? Amazon deleted special pdfs remotely, over night. Too much power for anybody.
