RE: Skyfonts

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Matthew,

The Monotype Library Subscription has a lot of benefits for a designer, but it 
is a rental service, which is the explanation for the architecture. It's not 
malware by any means. I think it is fair to protect the IP rights of type 
designers.

 I am just happy to have access to thousands of exceptionally high quality font 
designs for my publishing and design work.

Andrew

...or to put encrypted files in a hidden location on someone's machine.
That's what malware does, and things that do it, are quacking like malware.  
But my ethics aren't the question here.
