I think EA has heard, and is responding.  I just got an order form for a
non copy protected delux paint from EA (for an aditional $10 since I had
already bought a 'backup copy').

Also I have played with marble madness, instant music, and delux video.  All
of these can be copied, but to be run, they prompt you to insert the
original disk.  The program verifies the 'serial number' off the original,
and asks you to reinsert the copy.

I like this approach.  Since my original is not in the drive much, and
doesn't get written to.  Also, I can copy the programs to ram, or a hard
disk.
