Yah, the security is over the top. I understand wanting to keep the bad people out, but I think he goes a bit overboard. If that madden guy wants to get the program, he'll get it. Security doesn't matter if it also keeps the good people out. As far as the download goes, though, I really don't see what the big deal is in only letting legit members get it. And if the "older" members get it first, so what? I know, I'm an old timer, but I'd feel the same way even if I wasn't. It's no different than a company giving its repeat customers pricing lower than its one-time or casual customers.
