Summary: What has this to do with protection?

That's pretty impressive. I'd like to know how you can possibly support
copy protection after seeing all your protected programs cracked and uploaded
to a pirate bulletin board before they even come out. It's pretty obvious
to me that your protection isn't doing any good.

Actually, there are a couple of programs I'd like to download. The one to
unprotect DMCS (so I don't have to worry about my key disk giving out) sounds
pretty useful. (Yes, I know I can upgrade to the non copy-protected version
for another 20 bucks, but it galls me to pay $20 to remove something that
wasn't there in the first place. I regard DMCS as a utility, not a game, and
as such it shouldn't be protected.

Oh well, I know you won't agree with me, and everyone already has their own
opinion on this subject already (my mind's made up... don't bother me with
facts... I'm sure your mind is too). This is my one and only copy protection
posting.

Perhaps Commodore can do something, or get the cops to do something. Perhaps
you can sue them. It worked with the KKK.
