 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - The operative phrase. If you sent in your registration
cards you should have been given a subscribtion to "Farther" and "Deluxe News"
which both announced the change in EA's policy with respect to the "Deluxe"
series. Now if you get your disk updated ($7.50 P&H) you will get the 
unprotected version. I did this with both DMCS and DPaint II when they 
changed the policy. All *new* purchases of these products are the unprotected
version unless they are very old stock.
