I have heard that falcon was only code-wheel protected in the US, is this 
true? (in europe the protection is disk-based...)

In fact I have not the roms installed, Our local ST shop owner told me that
populous, DM, falcon, etc... did not work on his newly received STe, so
I checked it at home with my disk-based version of Tos 1.4... So maybe these
programs are only affected by the memory resident TOS? (I am ready to 
believe that with falcon, since it doesn't support disk caches anyways)

Anyways, I am more than ever convinced that words-in-documentation IS the
best way (for the user) to protect games...
