I for one think you all are WAY over reacting... Yes Handango used to offer this valuable service for free, and Yes it was extremely convient. But this is obviously a service that requires resources to operate... obviously not every software developer offers free upgrades and it would be a large effort (i imagine) to constantly keep track of that fact for EVERY single piece of software they sell... not to mention the continual bandwidth costs (although probably fairly small with these size files)...
My point is that this was a service they previously gave away for free and now decided to charge for. It's a business decision pure and simple. Unscrupulous???? Unethical??? I think not. If you choose to shop elsewhere because of it fine, but demanding a boycott and tossing around words like unethical I think is way uncalled for.
And FWIW I have absolutely no affiliation with handango, I'm just a PPC user like you all that has used Handango often in the past. I for one plan to keep shopping there because it is still IMHO the best place to find and read about all the PPC software that's out there. I can hardly ever find the SW cheaper elsewhere so why would I not buy there?
