Howdy John

Well you tell tell whoever makes the descisions, That I have bought just about
every CM program released. I have publically pushed and supported these
programs, and in this day and age it is simply not good enough to do this.

First off, the chessmaster program is not something that people will really want
to pirate. Not like Adobe, Macromedia, Symantec and other more expensive well
know applications.

Its a cheap program and thus less likely people will bother copying it. Lets
face it how many people play chess, let alone buy a chess program.

Now if it was a well know application, like web design software, Graphic
software, virus checking programs. Then I would say well okay to the protection.
But then still you cannot have a cd in the drive when using these applications
anyway.

Simply put, it is simply a waste of time, and more of a hassle.

You tell whoever is in charge, to get off their high horse. Chessmaster programs
are not that much in demand you know to worry about high levels of piracy.
