Re: Missing ilok key
I don't think we're going to make them change, but I do think the discussion is healthy. Brainstorming is always fun and creative and I really think this idea holds some water. Whether it will be implemented is another question. If the technology exists to improve on something then it should be considered, even if it is only theoretical. Unfortunately the ball is not in our court and the improvements will only benefit the consumer (you and I). So what reason do the developers have to pursue the idea?
Well .... none! It's unfortunate but unless there was a huge outcry from the engineers and producers for change, nothing will be done. It would take a little R&D capital to get this idea off the drawing board and into the hands of the consumer. Who should pay for that? Well who stands to gain the most? The answer is us, so do we pay for development? I guess we could, but I also think the developers should throw us a bone for being loyal customers by keeping them afloat. Without us, there is no need for them. One hand washes the other. Maybe a petition would spark some real consideration, however from what I've seen in the past on the DUC, it's all pissing in the wind and idle chit-chat. Without a real proposal and cost estimate, I see no future for the idea of a new and improved iLok system. It's a shame.

That's what it's all about; distributive, collaborative, cooperative development. Open source puts the control into the hands of the user. Don't worry, I'm already working on it. Don't have a time frame, but a replacement for the iLok is in the works. If anyone's interested in making this into a kind of technology coop, send me a private email and we can start talking. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!

By the way I wasn't suggesting that "We" actually pay for this thing. I was simply having an internal dialog while I was typing. Development is not in the hands of the people unfortunately, but the ideas can come from anywhere. My hope is that someone with influence is paying attention to this thread and takes the flame to the next level. And that I know is wishful thinking too.

Re: Missing ilok key
BTW - if you paid for your airline ticket with a Visa Signature Card - you may have some coverage. Check with your credit card company.
