I think we've already found the ultimate in copy protection:  The size of the
files.  Carmen Santiago on CD is over 140MB in size, and costs 70 dollars.
As far as I know, Hard Disk is not that cheap yet.  As long as it cost more
to store a program than get it on CD ROM, the CD ROM will be an efficient
copy protection mechanism.  Too bad the CDs are too slow, but that should
be fixed soon.....
