I laughed at that! I liked the part where they say their account might get shut down for spamming. :)

I don't know why they would make the offer valid only through Christmas, though. They are selling &quot;backup copies&quot; of the software for $20. You &quot;must certify&quot; that you already own the software. If I could get $20 for burning a CD, I sure wouldn't say it was a limited offer!

The best part was that you can send them your CD key for the software you already own and they will include it on the CD. Clever way to collect CD keys.
