   *[Notator SL mailing list]*
It's true Logic 2.5 was released less than a year ago. But still what if
they release creator or notator as a free download just register? Then they
will have a huge upgrade market for their other products. After using the
greatness of C-lab/emagic you've got an instant market. Plus a bigger
mailing list. and you can still sell unitors and vitcs  upgrades etc.
This is the way the new economy works. You give to get. Precedents:
Netscape just released the *source code* for Navagator. In browsers IE and
Netscape are both free. In music software Digi just gave away the 3.1 ver
Protools (not even a year old)
In fact this the textbook example of how to leverage your older zero-income
assets to great advantage is mindshare and marketshare.
