- I like the idea of having register codes, but I'm worried that if
- just ONE gets out to alt.2600 or IRC, the entire scheme might come back
- to haunt ARDI... I'm worried about piracy.
-
- Thinking about it, could it be possible to implement some sort of
- a coding scheme which could take something like a credit card number
- (provided by the user), and a serial number which would ONLY work with
- that card # (provided by ARDI). This would make it highly undesirable
- for someone to post a code, given that they're also posting a code which
- could very possibly be used against them. However, they could cancel the
- card right before they post... :(
-
- Basically, I know it's tough, but transmog files are better
- anti-piracy weapons... (then again, someone could uuencode executor and
- post it... aargh, but that applies to anything nowadays. I even saw what
- someone claimed to be a Windows 95 beta in the /usr/hack/tmp directories
- here on Netcom... I didn't try it - I'm on MSDN 2 anyway, so I'll get it
- legally in March :)
-
- I'm just getting paranoid I guess, but it seems that codes are a
- lower deterrent to piracy than having two versions...
