This I lived with only because I had no other choice. Now you have competition and all other things being equal I will easily choose the program that does not pose a potential security threat. You're only hurting yourselves by doing this.

You are being entirely ridiculous with your demands. Exactly what are you afraid of? You've been trusting PT and PA HUD to run executable code on your computer for years (which is pretty much the scariest thing you can let a piece of software do as far as security risks go) but GOD FORBID THEY CONNECT TO THE INTERWEBZ?!?! Go make a tin-foil hat to put on while you're at it.

EDIT: Wow, your response in the HM thread:

I've downloaded your beta twice yet haven't worked up the nerve to install it. Admittedly, I was planning on upgrading to PT3 mainly because I was used to using PT, figured the learning curve on PT3 wouldn't be as steep, and some of the XML related things I've been reading here have been making my head spin. However, if you are going to implement a reasonable copy protection scheme that doesn't involve secretive transmissions over the Internet, consider me one of your new users.

Since you appear to know nothing about computers, take it from a software engineer: You have nothing to worry about. Stop reading articles that capitalize on the lack of knowledge of people like you that make it sound like YOUR IDENTITY IS BEING DISSEMINATED TO ANY INTERESTED PARTY ON THE INTERWEBZ!@%r!!
