[Nieuws] CorePlayer 1.0 bijna beschikbaar voor Palm

Q: Does CorePlayer need to be connected to register/download the player?
A: Yes, as each compiled installer is specific for each user is will work ONLY against the hardware it is to be installed with the specific Core Account.

Q: Will you offer an 'offline' way to register CorePlayer?
A: Yes, we will provide details later

Q: What happens if my device online I register it and then I take it offline?
A: After xx days that it has not 'touched' our server and received a custom 'byte' made for you. it will revert back to CorePlayer FREE till you come online.

A: After a random period of time the player will prompt you to login to your Core Accout and download a 'seed' to keep the player active. This can be loaded via SD/MMC or the installer for the PC, etc. It will give you plenty of time to do this... so dont think a few days... but I will not elaborate on specifics. Otherwise once you are connected.... the player does a 'touch' update automatically and the seed is generated/updated without any interaction by the user.

So, not only do they lock CorePlayer to a single device (something that is not mentioned on the purchase page), but also will they temporarily deactivate features of your purchased copy should you not keep "in touch" with their server (something else that is not mentioned on the purchase page). I am sure the guys of CorePlayer deserve every credit for their efforts to create the world's best mobile media player. But I don't care whether it's a small start-up company or Bill Gates himself - forcing me to regularly stay in contact with someone's online server and, should I do not, disabling features of a software that I legitimately purchased, is just plain wrong. And most certainly not legal in the country I live in.
