Supreme Cmdr Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 Don't look now, but the #1 copy protection software has bought the #1 game installer. This can't be good, can it? Meanwhile, back at the ranch, 321 has probably been sued out of business. God I love this industry.
street228 Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 They have a ridiculously high price for use of install shield already!!..and a $1000.00 or so, for their user classes. I will bet, the price will increase 20%-30%, with their first release, from macrovision, finalizing their purchase!!
Supreme Cmdr Posted June 17, 2004 Author Report Posted June 17, 2004 Dunno. I only use Installshield Express which, while cheaper, I seem to pay $150 every year or so for a new update...which usually consists of bug fixes and useless features I don't even need. Bastards.
street228 Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 This "RENT TO OWN" concept pisses me off too, dongles on everything, anymore. I am sooo glad, I decided to stay out of the software end of things here, and stayed in the hardware end,though I still deal with SOME of it. My brother owns the company where I work...he gets the headaches. I, MOSTLY, just have to hear the *****ing...lol
Freyar Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 quote:From the second News Story ...a San Francisco judge had ruled that 321's popular DVD X Copy was illegal, because it was able to circumvent copyright protection programs.Honestly, the way I percieved it, Copyprotection is illegal because it breaks another one of those home-technology laws. The one where you can copy it to your hard-disk as a backup to save the original disk.
