I'd say that it's the principle of the thing. The fact that a company can arbitrarily take access away from you even when you've bought and paid for the software, at their whim, doesn't sit well with many folks. And also WGA is a guilty-until-proven-innocent thing. So I can sympathize with Charles' point. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
