Trust me if I had my way we would be on an honor system and EVERYONE would pay for their software and music, and movies etc etc etc... if we have to have copy protection I really prefer a dongle seeing as it lets me use my tools on ANY computer.... all I have to do is waltz in with my ilok. No serial codes to enter or anything.
I completely agree, I find the Ilok to be a pretty ingenious solution and quite convenient as well! It seems to me that the predictible complaints by some are probably one of many leveled at large succcesful companies by whom they feel oppressed. The indisputable truth is that the purchases of these products are purely voluntary. These companies are merely trying to find a way to make their products available and at the same time, rightfully so, trying to protect against thievery and piracy. There is no grand conspiracy here, just good business practice.
