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!
