So apart from forcing people who dish out the money to stick the cd in. They are letting the people who copy it too also. So as for doing this as a form of protection. It is pretty pointless. Just a hassle. And even though I support the program, there have been times when I go to play the game late at night, get the insert cd thing pop up, and just forget about it and turn the computer off. I may buy future CM programs, but the average guy off the street, this may deter them, I know I hate games that always require cd's to be in.
