- A friend of mine used to have his software distributed by Midi
- Mouse, and actually developed that copy protection. It's a laser hole on
- the disk, and the program tries to write to the damaged sector, and if
- it can, won't run. I don't know about the other authors who had programs
- distributed by Midi Mouse, but my friend does not speak highly of them,
- and had to have a lawyer phone them to get them to stop selling copies
- of his software after their contract expired.
