Those in charge of these decisions seem to feel that copy >protection is rampant (apparently, even more rampant than ever before), and that Considering that most new PC's also have cd burners, this cd copy protection will soon be a waste of time. People will just copy the cd and give them to other people. Its getting to a stage where technology is getting to fast for protection to be effective. Even though I do not participate in it, you can basically get a full blown version of any software you want off the net. I have seen a site that has avaiable for download all Adobe, Symantec and macromedia programs, all which would cost 10's of thousands of dollars if you bought them all. All you can get for free, or steal if you want to get correct about it.
