Hash's "copy protection" isn't exactly what it seems.  It's more of a copy
deterent.
 
If you've got a piece of software with your name and a serial number
plastered into the code, you're not going to be distributing it to your
thief budies.
 
People pirate $500 software all the time.  There's a certain BBS in
California (probubly more than one) that contains almost any title you
could ever want...it's a real shame.  If these guys like the Amiga so much,
they sure are doing their best to make sure the software companies kiss it
off because of a bunch of ex-C64 owners (nothing personal about the C64...I
had one and loved using it...but pirating was (is) very heavy on it, and it
wasn't even hidden from{view).
