Hello,

I realize that this is a bad topic of discussion, but I would like any input
that people have on this subject.

My company's first product was sold without any form of protection, and
although our market is limited to only a couple of thousand buyers, we only
sold 25 copies. Why? Because everyone copied the original 25, and thus had
no need to buy more.

We are considering some form of copy protection for our next product, and
I am interested in any ideas/suggestions for or against protection...

Thanks for you time...
