Copy Protection

I am (kind of) neutral on the subject of copy protection, but as I see it,
copy protection only hurts the valid buyer and delays the product slightly
from reaching the pirates. Many pirates are MORE 'vengeful', if you want to
call it that, when a program is protected. They see it as a challenge and
WILL break it, and then pass it on to more people than if it was unprotected
in the first place. You've probably heard all this before, but I thought I'd
just throw in my two cents worth (actually about $.50 at $6 per hour!) Good
luck with your projects…
