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. -- -- Peter da Silva `-_-' ...!seismo!soma!uhnix1!sugar!peter (I said, NO PHOTOS!)
