Crippleware makes sense from a very narrowminded corporate perspective, but in the long run it just creates more 'pirates'.
I mean, which option sounds more appealing to you:
Spend 15+ bucks on a CD that won't let you rip it or make copies
or
Downloading the CD for free in an easily tranportable digital format
I've downloaded a ton of stuff I own just because it's faster and simpler than wrangling it off the disc.
Nice that one of the corporates is waking up to the fact that reducing customer flexibility isn't a smart business model.
