- This is how I feel. I will NOT purchase ANYTHING that is copy protected
- in any way, doc protection on games included. I have this moral thing
- against pirating, and if someone copy protects software I take it
- as an insult to my integrity; I feel as if they are saying 'You

- difficult <ha ha ha>'.
