Basically, copy protection programs are a waste of time. and resources.
There are a few tricks which make it impossible to use DISKCOPY to copy
a program, but many times copy protection just introduces problems for 
honest users.
     I am only half joking when I make the suggestion that one way to find
out how to copy protect a program would be to contact your local teen-
age hacker group, see what games they haven't cracked yet, and find out
what scheme was used to protect the games.
