I never managed to make a pirated copy of MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND,
either, but that's not because of the fiendishly uncrackable copy
protection.

Hint. Hint.

Well, I doubt that Blizzard would sell 276 gazillion of software called
World of Warcraft if they were not some kind of a NAZI and in fact enorced
people to buy their software.
Oh, they should have provided free client software so that we don't use
BattleNet or such things :>

Well, passing of Suez cost large ships 70000$ in the game of Ports of Call.
It's not for free. In Amsterdam if you don't put TWO locks on your bike it
is gone, stolen by some junkie who will sell it for 50 guldens... Surprised

)))

So it is publisher's call what they will use, what kind of copy protection
for better or worse.
