Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

digital vs hardcopy
And why only a 7-day window after you buy it to activate the software? If you miss the deadline or later need to re-install it or decide to use it on another computer, does that mean you would you have to download the entire thing all over again? (Hey, not everyone has easy access to fast broadband!) It also says that if your computer's "minimum requirements" are not met, the software will flatly refuse to install. (Just personal opinion, but I'd rather have software that runs slow on an old computer than not at all)
It's interesting that on the same day of this Daily Deal, Techdirt posts an article today highlighting the fact that digital downloads will strip all ownership rights from buyers that they would otherwise have had by purchasing hard-copy versions. In this case, considering all the unreasonable restrictions and puzzling arbitrary limitations of this digital download version, it would seem that the DVD version (apparently not offered here) would probably be a much better choice for many people.
