With the pirates out in full force and new CD technology I think that CD Copy protection might be out dated already. The hated Dongle might be the only way. I've already been sent a CD of a CD program that was copied. It worked on my system but had difficulties on another system. No, I didn't keep the CD. Probably because I had no use for that software, but since I don't believe in piracy I doubt whether I would have kept it if I had a use for it.
