I think it's only fair to point out that the IBM version of Lemmings,
which is HD mountable, is also using the Key Disk protection system.
In this case, we do have the same protection scheme as what the IBMers
do.

Part of the reason game makers are so vigilant on protecting Amiga
software over IBM software is because the difference in the size of
the market. IBM has such a huge market that even with a lot of piracy
of unprotected software, they can still make enough sales to make a
profit. Whereas on the Amiga market, the sales volume won't be as high
even if they are able to prevent the game from being copied.
