Hi Lee,
Completely off topic, but...

Quite impractical. Many people don't have internet access, and won't ever
get it. Nor even have a MODEM in their system, to do a direct dial
registration.
Registration procedures such as this, only harm a product; whatever it is.
It'll either get shunned or cracked. It deserves it.
