Why is it so objectionable? There is _NO_ reason to keep this file. All good software works without it, spyware does not. You do _not_ need network support. There is _NO_ reason for software to query system info. The ridiculous so-called software protections do need system info. Copyright _IS_ theft. In some counrtries there is no copyright law at all. That's why I dislike The King so much. I would'nt be a bad engine (+- 120 Kb) but it needs CM8000 (20-30 Mb) to get the OPK number. This is of course ridiculous. I can not keep big files on my hard disk.
