We've given a better way*, but all we get is crickets from you, and continued denials and accusations like this.
Just as I suspected we would, because, while it would stop the "large scale casual sharing" you say is all you care about, it wouldn't force us to buy another copy for anyone who doesn't share our account or format.
IOW, publishers want a scheme that forces us to pay what you actually defend as a "stupid tax."
