Yes, I'm not a programmer, and I'm using purchased software to run my little site (just me, not some huge company), so I can't change the way it works. You at least have to give a real e-mail address to get the password, but you can make up whatever you want for the other fields if you're just doing the free downloads.
I don't maintain a mailing list (too busy to do any kind of newsletters or whatever), and I don't share the information with anybody else. But, if you don't like sharing a real e-mail address, you can always use one of those free e-mail services just for this type of thing.
I could always just post the files on an HTML page for people to download directly. I used to do that a long time ago, but then my bandwidth usage went through the roof and cost too much. This little bit of extra "trouble" to get the free loops now helps keep the bandwidth usage under control. Plus, it's also a good way to test out the system before you make a purchase, since some e-mail providers don't like the automatically generated e-mails from my site for some reason.
Enjoy the free loops!
