Both Supreme Commander and Company of Heroes have given me grey hairs regarding copy protection.
One minute I can read the disks the next I cannot.
That is why I advocate the elicence system, it is simple, effective and does not stuff-up your system.
Having attended many lans in our neck of the woods, piracy is rife, games are out before they are even officially released.

So yes a thief is a thief but tell that to a thirteen-year-old at a 1000-man lan.
Is he the thief or is it the countries that allow sites like piratebay to operate.

I'm no more a lover of copy protection than you are, especially when it causes problems like securom does, it's the suggestion that a lower price will stop thievery..... If people would stop stealing the stuff the prices would go down on thier own because the software companies would stop wasting time and money on preventing theft.

It's the idea that piracy is the software companies fault that wrangles me (you might get me to listen in Microsoft's case). Guy's like Maddox and crew are not going to get rich on thier software, how can we take the bread from thier table and say it's thier own fault for not locking the door?

I meant no personal attack but I'm passionate about the subject as I protect peoples property for a living.
