Yes there is copy write protection, but it's useless. Chess Genius 6.5 was the most recent victim. It's protect was you have to put in a CD every certain amount of games, but there is simply a crack for that now. I don't think they are hard to make, but I know the cracks are out already. Fritz 6 was also a victim. Chess is becoming more popular, and because of this, there is a high demand for chess software. Protection is very pointless; anything and everything can be cracked. Not only chess software but also all games. I fell very badly for Adobe. Every single thing they have out can be downloaded at just about any warez site; I can't imagine the amount of cash that they lose. There are lot's of chess programmers on this board, I'm not sure if they realize the problem, but it most certainly exist. I'm sure shredder cracks will be coming soon and chess tiger. It's not fair for the people who make them, but what can be done? The way I see it, there is nothing we can do. People put various types of protection but nothing works. The people who upload entire programs do it because they think everything should be free. I think these people should go to school and enter an economics class. As times goes by this whole warez thing will get bigger and bigger. I think it's going to come to a point where companies will simply lose money on everything they put out. Then there will be nothing left...
