Peter, Copy protection will continue until the BUYERS wise up and simply refuse to purchase the products. This is cyclical. Back in the early 80's, on the old IBM PCs, we went through a period of intense donglitis which infected millions of PCs until the buyers started to refuse to buy them. Suddenly, with revenues dwindling, we had a change of heart. Copy protection started to decline until only the paranoid schitzo software companies were being cash drained, many going belly up rather than making it easy for the buyers to use the software. Then, during the big boom days, they were all making so much cash it didn't seem to matter.....until the bubble burst and Wall St crashed. Suddenly, Micro$not had a change of heart and, because it views itself as invincible which may be true, Windoze XP came out with copy protection. Why is still a mystery. You nearly can't buy a computer without paying the Micro$not tax on it, even if you use Linux. Change too many hardware bits and it refuses to boot until "Mother" calls it and gives it permission. Simply stop buying copy protected crapware and it will all go away shortly. But, of course, THAT would require boaters to COOPERATE, which isn't going to happen.....So, the sellers seem to control the market until the buyers smarten up. -- Larry |
