Unfortunately, chances are good that no one at MakeMusic ever sees
these, as these likely go to a contracted outside organzation for
processing.
The only thing you're doing to MakeMusic is costing them the postage.
David,
You are almost certainly correct. Though it is _possible_ that
someone at Coda might be informed that upgrade notices are coming
back with specific refusals. I thought this view implicit in my
original post.
Regardless, I consider this (_very_minor_) act of "Civil
Disobedience" a useful, and worthwhile, ploy in the campaign to
eventually eradicate phone-home copy-protection. It is one I employ
against other agencies, for other reasons, as well
Like I said: It's their dime. If they're going to offer it, I'll
spend it to give them my opinion. If they don't read it, that's their
problem.
Best wishes,
-=-Dennis
