I will have a job soon, and I am 90% sure I will buy this program, but if for some unseen reason I cannot or do not buy it when I have the means to do so, I will delete it from my system. However, in the video tutorials and in spending a few hours fiddling with it, I have come to the conclusion that it is indeed a very fine product, and I congratulate you for it.
I have not tried to make money with your product, in fact, I have barely had time to try it out (a 14-day money back guarantee doesn't do well when you only get a hand full of hours a week to try to make a project that can take many hours). I have no money, but don't go crying on my account. I am a somewhat recent college graduate still looking for employment in today's struggling economy. I believe you are smart enough to discern the nature of my anonymity, but I come to shed light on something you may not realize. I shall remain incognito, but you may call me Blackbeard. Again, not sure how feasible this is to implement, or if it is compatible with you business model.Īnyway, thanks for the great products and the great support you guys have given me over the time I have been a customer - here's to the future. When I say family, I mean a symbol with it's varicolour and optional orientaions or whatever. In my ideal world, I'd be able to buy a 'family' of symbols from your site (kind of like buying stock photos). For example, I have one of the symbol packs which contains a huge amount of artwork, but I would only use a fraction of the art.
I'd like to see a different way of selling the brilliant symbols you guys produce.
I'd even suggest having a registration process for the demo and watermarks. That way it is one 'self-contained' demo showing off the power of your products. Is it possible to prepare a demo that is fully working for a limited time, say 14 days, have each module but maybe a reduced symbol set. Not being a programmer, I am unsure how feasible or easy it is for you to bash one up. The demo would have helped ease my decision. I nearly didn't buy them as the price is high (for my part of the world) and I was unsure if I'd get the benefit from them. I delayed buying each of the products I have from you as I was hoping to see a demo and have a play around with them. I'd strongly encourage a demo for your products.

CC3 is a relatively inexpensive piece of software, and even our Whole Shebang bundle, while a fair price, still represents excellent value for money compared with other similar commercial software. However, we don't want to inconvenience our customers, so we rely on our reputation for technical support, and the excellence of our community to keep revenue flowing.
Piracy definitely decreased when we introduced CC3 - it pings our server automatically to validate the serial number on installation, or gets you to type in a code if you don't have internet access. These pirates aren't freedom fighters - most of them make money from advertising, and some even have the cheek to ask for donations. I estimate that there are four pirated copies in use for every one sold. We aren't sure how much this affects our sales - I'm sure a lot of pirates wouldn't have bought our stuff anyway - but there are certainly those who have made the choice to steal rather than buy. There isn't too much we can do about it, though we have got a few sites to pull down links, and got a few pirates to pay up. Piratebay, demonoid and all those other seeders have CC3 on torrent.
If you don't think the software represents value for money after that, just get your money back. I'd like to appeal to those people considering a pirated copy to buy the software - since 2005 we've had a 14-day money back guarantee, and we urge you to try our support and community if you have any questions during that time.
