There’s two things that I really object to when it comes to buying electronic stuff:

o) Instant access once I pay for something.
o) DRM that prevents me from copying what I purchased to wherever I want, however many times I want. If I buy a DVD, or download it, whose business is it that I watch it on my computer, my TV, a portable DVD player, or a PMP, for cryin’ out loud? And if I take the time and trouble to convert it, who gives a rip? I’m not selling it to friends, or even giving it away; I just want to have it available for when *I* want it. I paid for the durn thing; I should view it in whatever format I like. It’s only *bits*, for cryin’ out loud.

So anyway, I’m with youse goys.

While I have never had this happen to me, I would be very annoyed if it did. I don’t go out and buy software just to keep sitting at the trial screen for a few days. I bought it that moment because I made the decision I wanted it, and wanted it now, which with the Internet I should be able to do. Clicking Pay should have the code immediately sent to my email address. None of this “Oh whats your Owner name?”, that should have been entered on the purchase page, and then automatically used to generate my code and have it emailed.
