Sir Angriffslustig:
"...Yes, I'm afraid that soon, all major companies will begin doing the same. Many programs even check with a data base while you are on line, to determine if they are legally registered. If they are registered improperly, they will simply shut down. For an example of this, download Bullet Proof FTP, along with
any crack you can find to register it. Then run the program for about ten minutes..."
A Squire:
" I'd rather not, if you don't mind, Sir. Then in addition to the rest, the business of future reverse engineers of software is to discover how that connection to the database works and how it can be neutralized? That may also be of considerable value to those who don't wish, for one reason or another, for their lives, which have been reduced to magnetic ink and stored on the back of a little plastic card, to be displayed to anyone they come in contact with."
