Geez...you mean we've gone all the way to human liberties in this discussion?? That good ole MM could be part of a scheme by which our freedom might slowly erode without our knowing it? A music notation software company?? Give me a break, please.
Since we know that some of the good folks at MM read this list, I'd just like to say thanks to you guys (and gals) for the obvious effort you put into what at first glance appears to be a dazzling upgrade. If you think there's an absence of gratitude among your most fervent (at least most vocal) users, I believe that's not the case. And let's hope that everyone realizes that the only true way we can influence MM's fiscal viablity, thus to create future products, is for us to *BUY* the product when it's worthy of buying, which I will do despite not being able to run OS X on my Mac. I'm with Craig: copy protection is a reasonable business decision. If there's a genuine need to improve how they implement it, then so be it. I suspect they're willing to learn from reasonably-expressed, intelligent suggestions. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt in that regard. We asked for these kinds of improvements and MM has delivered. There's no way to know, but it appears to be a healthy company and I hope it remains so. The alternative is awful to think about.
