F*$# them then.... just get a copy off someone on the list.
thats ridiculous that a company would do that to you, so I
say screw them
and dont buy it.... just ask someone for it.

I don't have it but if i did I would give it to you, and i
know for a fact that there are
 MANY people on the list who would be willing to give it to
you.

now I know this is going to cause flames...whatever, don't
bother cause I dont care.

Im not a big fan of "WAREZ",  and i am happy to pay for a
product i like... but if they
try to take my money... I say screw em.
