Hello Harald,
After some of the post on this BB concerning openly pirating software, I can
understand the use of copy protection.  Many third world countries consider it a
right to copy anything and distribute it.  In most there is virtually no way to
enforce the law so it is done openly.  I have been to countries where you could
walk into a store and buy the latest copied programs for $2.00.  Things like
Dbase , Microsoft Word, Excel, etc.  I don't think this has changed much in the
last few years except it is more available than ever.  Probably the copy
protection will not prevent this anyway.
