Here is something that makes me less excited about the release:

Quote:
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.
That's the worst I've ever heard. Not only do they require you to get online for registering your copy of CorePlayer, but they also require you to regularly visit their server otherwise your copy would rever back to the freeware version of CorePlayer.

Is that legal?
