Re: [Finale] OT: P in a circle

This came up on the daw-mac list a little while back and the following 
URL proved helpful. They have both mac and pc versions of the font.

No, not pee. (:)

I'm on Mac and need the P-in-a-circle character (same as c in a circle,
except p) such as is needed for copyright notices on recorded 
products. I've
checked several fonts that I have and have concluded I probably don't 
have
one that has it. I don't think any of the Finale-supplied fonts have 
it (but
perhaps I'm wrong). I also checked MetTimes and it wasn't there. Can 
anyone
steer me to a font that contains this, or otherwise suggest how I might
solve this need? Just curious: do any Windows fonts have it?

Re: [Finale] Registration codes and copyright

b) as Benjamin pointed out, making your product unusable
   by refusing activation codes at some point in the future
   is illegal in the States as well as in Europe.
They wont need to do this to get the same result since copy protection 
software is amongst the most fragile in existence. All it takes is an 
OS upgrade, when Finale 2004 is no longer the current version, which 
causes the copy protection software to break. The then current version 
of Finale will have its copy protection software upgraded to work with 
the OS upgrade but 2004 users will be out of luck.

It is therefore crystal clear that neither Microsoft nor Coda will stop
handing out activation codes for obsolete products, ever.
Activation codes are of no use once the copy protection software is 
incompatible with your current operating system. Youll need a museum 
to make use of them.

Someone mentioned a Mac/PC take on copy protection and Id only point 
out that Mac OSX users have had quite a few reasons to upgrade their OS 
recently and this will likely continue for the foreseeable future. One 
would imagine
