In reference to the comment about how software should NOT be copy protected:
  1]  Slowing down the process is GOOD because it gives more time for people
      to buy the game before it becomes widely available.
  2]  Yes, I am "suggesting" that people will want a copy of Xenocide, because
      to be quite honest, it's the best damn game that has ever been made for
      the IIgs.
  3]  The scheme so far would not annoy buyers, because it can be copied and
      put onto a hard drive, it simply requires a key disk which is not really
      any hassle.  I bought Deluxe Paint II, and I dont consider it a hassle
      to stick in the key disk when I run it off of my hard drive.
