Ok those of you that know me know I use linux but recently have had to
explore MS software and likely will have to use some MS software on a
special workstation PC I am setting up for filmmaking-- video editing,
music composing, etc. Well today I went out and bought some MIDI music
recording/editing software "CakeWalk" is the company. Oh man this
software really irks me! This is RETAIL software I paid $40 for at Best
Buy; ok, so I install it only to find out that I *must* register the
software online with the company that made it within 30 days or it will
cease to function? WTF? You gotta be kidding?! I paid for it, and now I
have to give up my privacy and give out my telemarketing/spam contact
info to this sheister company even though I prefer not to and I have
PAID already for this software? This is a first. I am going to try to
return the software. Chalk up an angry customer-- another great reason
to stick with open source when possible. I feel abused already by this
software company. This blows!
That's not really an MS issue is it? I'm sure Cakewalk requires you to do
the same if you run it on an Apple.
The "punish the paying customers to prevent piracy" licensing policy has
always been one of my favorites.
