Ah, but it only takes one hacker to remove the "security" code and make
copies that end up in the hands of the "space invaders" crowd.

Ignoring the obvious impracticality of "modified disk controllers",
it wouldn't be too hard to put a "trap-on-write" into the I/O
section of an operating system such as CPM to discover where the disk
rewrite was being done.
