- I think we've already found the ultimate in copy protection: The size of the
- files. Carmen Santiago on CD is over 140MB in size, and costs 70 dollars.
- As far as I know, Hard Disk is not that cheap yet. As long as it cost more
- to store a program than get it on CD ROM, the CD ROM will be an efficient
- copy protection mechanism. Too bad the CDs are too slow, but that should
- be fixed soon.....
