Summary: I think you are being unrealistic Sean When TOOLS and UTILITIES are protected, I'm upset, but not for games.

        Unfortunately,  the industry and the public have agreed.  It is
   OK to copy protect games.  I haven't seen ANY unprotected games. And
   people are buying them.  Given this REALITY I prefer the kind of copy-
   protect scheme that gives me the convenience of backing up my investment.
 
        I will however continue to VIOLENTLY complain about copy protecting
   programming tools, utilities, and other programs that I NEED.
