There are several ways to prevent people from doing simple bit-by-bit copies... laser burns, writing while seeking, flaky bits, etc... Unfortunetly, most copyprotection schemes either (A) force the use of a master disk which wears out, (B) is a @#$#$% to use everytime you want to run the application, or (C) takes over the machine. As a result, I personally do not buy copyprotected software. -Matt
