I have PAID CorelDRAW X6 in FULL for the program, why am I subjected to ADVERTISING EVERYTIME I start the application???????
CorelDRAW get your ACT together or lose a client
This is the one I currently get at startup.
It seems to be targeting Standard members.
So, if you have premium membership you may not get it.
Thank you for your feedback. I understand that some of you might not like to see these "ads", and we are always very careful regarding if and which one we include to CorelDRAW users. We know that a good number of CorelDRAW users create technical illustration, and this tool is worth looking at if you are doing these types of graphics, reason why we decided to inform all CorelDRAW Graphics Suite users about it.
I am checking why some of you are seeing this message multiple times if you selected not to show it again, as this should not happen.
Premium members will see a similar message, but they are getting an even bigger discount that nobody else is getting (they will actually save more than the price of the Premium Membership if they are interested in Technical Illustration tools).

Canada has Anti-Spam Laws in place that may be applicable here since Corel doesn't seem to care, maybe filing a registered complaint with the CRTC will get them to change their tactics? The penalties for violation are very severe. Government of Canada's link to Fast Facts page on the Anti-Spam Law : http://fightspam.gc.ca/eic/site/030.nsf/eng/h_00039.html
It might be worth taking a look at and filing a claim. It will get more action than complaining on here...
Here is the Spam Reporting Centre on the Government of Canada's own website: http://fightspam.gc.ca/eic/site/030.nsf/frm-eng/MMCN-9EZV6S
Submit your claim and see what happens. The more the merrier...since the CRTC needs help getting their rear's in gear too.
Also, here is their email address so you can email them directly as I have done: spam@fightspam.gc.ca
Consumers, businesses and other organizations are able to report the following messages to the SRC:
This information will be used by the three enforcement agencies (the CRTC, Competition Bureau, and Office of the Privacy Commissioner) under CASL.
