Autodesk join the rank of criminal corporate America

Not only Autodesk charge way to much for they wares, now they said your only RENTING it and cannot sell it LEGALY when you no longer need it?

Seem to me that the great american dream is based only on extortion. Of Course autodesk is WRONG on this one. but will they get punish? no way! They will continue to misslead consumer, use a ILLEGAL law (the DMCA) to steal money from they onwn consumers. Way to go! Don't forget to thank those who paved the way to this new business model: the MPAA, RIAA, SONY, Macrovision and other parasitic companies who have no legitimate reason to oparate a business.
