Thanx Larry…. I agree with you entirely…. no matter what protection
is in, it will always be hacked out much more quickl than it was to add
it!
But, im just a wee bit upset because I was gonna add some hefty disk copy
protection (which im very good at!) and intentionally didn't, because
Americans dont like it! Its a lot harder to hack into a game and remove
the protection, if you can't even load it into memory (copy protected on a
non standard disk format)…. next time, I will definitely use copy
protection. There is no argument that if you are honest with people, they
will be honest back. It just doesnt work. (sigh!)
[I am of course referring to hackers and pirates. The majority of people
are of course honest.]
