You're absolutely right. Why would I expect a CI to protect his livelihood when he can trade it for the opportunity to make a quick buck.
I'll rephrase my statement, I wouldn't give it to you.
Because there are some people that are going to DIY it no matter how good the CI is or how little they charge. I am one of them. I WANT to DIY it and I do so and found a dealer who has sold me 7 URC remotes (MX-3000, 980, 900, 810 and 880x3 plus and MSC-400) He provided me the software. I am loyal to him. Now that I have the CCP, I could get any future remotes I need off ebay, but I won't. I will go to him.
So while I am not putting his kid through college, I am contributing to his livelihood. You never know if that one remote you sell to someone might turn out to be more than a single remote sale.
Why are CI's so afraid of giving software to people who aren't going to be their "clients" anyway?
