We, a significant amount of potential customers, don't agree with paying for the dongle, nor with losing a USB port, all at our expense. That is the main issue under discussion.


My suggestion could change both those cons, and it would be fair AND ethical for dongled corporations to proceed with it.



I agree and doubt it will happen though. And this proved my point that, while there are fair alternatives such as the one I suggested, they really don't give a **** about us, so **** them.

But I believe your insistence on a copy-protection free product is a bit
duplicitous in that it completely ignores the 800 pound gorilla of illegal
file sharing and what it's effect on the industry would be.
