Even with that, it wont take "them" too long to code a program that emulates the online authentication....
But personally, i think a lot of people will be irritated beyond repair.... being online is ok for most people in the USA, UK, Europe and Asia...where internet is cheap and most of the time its a permanent connection... Countries in Africa dont have the infrastructure yet for permanent connections.
In SA its only become available now in the last 2 years, and most people cant afford it. So they are going to have a lot of irritated buyers...
