 What can I say!
 You see the effect on your side and I know the efect on my side.
 I got ALOT of games in my life, never made backup copy of them.
 (Not saying that its the right thing).
 1 disk game dont offer alot of risk of user manipulation.

 But do you think it would help to put label likes:
 lifetime warranty
 We send games people order with next day shipping and its included in
 the ardvertized price, but we didn't put that since its to obvious!
 Like for disk warranty!

 I would say that if you go with that only backup point it not enought
 to make mutch difference the way software house think.

 All I know his alot try to do the BEST possible and people dont seem
 to care!
 Disk protection is still the best for the customer when he know he will
 alway have a working copie!.
 10$! for handling! any floppy disk distribuotr or other can offer you
 lifetime warranty with your order.
 So even DragonLair should only include copy cost.

 I cant beleive 10$, or its a VERY special product! with 10disk and is
 located oversea etc...

 But copy protection will sell more copy of the game.That can mean more
 money for the next project to invest in!
 The only draw back with dis kprotection is you have to send it back
 if it even die.
