From your petition description:
 
"Not to mention, they started an online subscription plan leaving the consumer with no product in hand (unlocked hard disk DVD for personal download offline) and you have to rely on a now defunct business who claims their server's are up to down load what you've already bought, but for how long? As I've said before. It's wrong for these companies to ask us for our hard earned money and leave us with nothing."
 
Firstly, you can download your products right now and there is nothing stopping you doing that. Secondly, you're not left with nothing, you're left with a fully functional DAW (as far as Sonar can be described as fully functional )

Just save all your install files from your Cakewalk account, back them up. The only problem you will have is on the authorization side, and they have said they would sort that out. If for whatever reason they don't sort it out before the swan song, there are other methods already available on the net should you so choose.

To the OP.
 
And just how will you scratch my back if I scratch yours?

Beepster just got kinkier than I ever imagined.

eeeewww...
