No, that's just not right. The patch only makes life much easier for legal users. Problems only start with the "trading" as it is usually called. And yes, it seems to be quite common in certain circles. They are the reason that legal users have to suffer from ever more painful copy protection features. I realize and agree that such a patch is borderline and can understand people who think it supports piracy - I don't have a clear opinion about it myself. But it definitely isn't the patch itself, for that you need the original CD to run, that is the major problem here, the problem is the legal owners who decide to become thieves. Peter
