are you serious? LOL
O_O
it's even worse than protecting with serials...etc...

have you ever heard about virtual cd programs? what they do is just 
completely copy the raw image of your cd to a file, then a guy using that 
program gets additinial drive when he opens "My Computer" lol... and he 
doesn't need your CD anymore.
It's worse because there is no need to generate keys, patches, etc.. to make 
your commercial program work, they would just copy the CD's image. and 
distribute it on the net.

Cheers.
