I've used COPYWRITE very successfully over the years.  Quaid always has
a liberal upgrade policy (they release every month, and you can get an
upgrade for $18).  They have a couple of techniques beside just disk-copying
for breaking the protection (like a memory resident program that intercepts
suspicious disk accesses and creates a clean executable). It costs $50.
I'm pretty impressed.  (and I don't own any stock)
