Largely irrelevant since the software would still have to be activated.
Be that as it may, I had no such issues with their CD's.
That's a pretty good indication that this issue is not occurring on a large enough scale to invoke a system-wide response.
When I have an individual issue with any other company, I can contact an actual Customer Support representative who acknowledges and addresses my individual issue until there is a satisfactory resolution.
With other companies I don't have to wait until it's "occurring on a large enough scale" for them to acknowledge and address my individual issue.
