- I understand your efforts to combat the pirating of your software
- (your really deserve to be paid for the work you did!) but
- unfortunately your solution won't change anything, in the pirating
- nearly every CD-ROM is ripped and zipped to 1.44mb disks, there is NO
- way to prevent pirating. Not to mention that CD-Writers are becoming
- cheaper and cheaper.... The most secure thing is a hardware
- copy-protection like the one used by Cubase, but even this one can be
- beaten!
