IT IS NOT ILLEGAL.  You have every right to subvert copy protection.  You can
do anything you want to the program, you OWN it.  You can change it, modify
it, rewrite it, whatever you want.  The only thing you can't do is DISTRIBUTE
what you've done.  There is NOTHING illegal about removing copy ptotection code
from a program.  Not according to the United States Code at least...
