Another company without copy protection is MicroPro.  They had
a copy protection scheme on WordStar 2000 and removed it because
of customer demand.  

(Note:  According to the local MicroPro Rep., if you have the old 
version and did not register it, you did not receive the FREE 
upgrade to the non-protected version.)

Does anyone know what impact that policy change had on:
	Their corporate image.
	Their sales.
	Their profitability.
