I don't believe it. I'm not saying I've got the answer here, but… Do most software warranty / contracts say that you can modify the executable in any way? On one hand, if they say "no", then you're really violating a point of contract if you hot patch, regardless of whether you judge it as harmless or not. On the other, if you can hot-patch things, then it doesn't make any difference as to whether you're removing CP or stupid literal drive references. I'm thinking of it in a moral sense, like the way people argue piracy. If it ain't legal to hot patch, then it ain't legal to hot patch. – John
