If you do decide to release anything with copy protection, please tell me what software product you are producing, so I (and many others) can refuse to buy it. If your product is worth buying, and priced reasonably, people will buy it. Provide support for your product to registered owners via regular updates and bug fixes, and telephone or e-mail help for tech. questions. John Feiler
