I use some comercial software packages at home and at work.
Somebody may not care about putting a key disk in drive A every time
he wants to start up the program.
One night, I had the following dream:
Why bother to put copy protection on the program.?
What ever the protection scheme is, there must be a starting program
to do the key checking and to load the main program.
Isn't every experienced assembly programmer able to 'read' through
the starting codes and to 'patch' those codes in order to run the
program directly from the hard disk ?
By 'patch', I mean to change the code in such ways as either 'bypassing'
to think the checking is passed.
It is a matter of time ! Maybe one can find a student ( stupid enough !)
to do it.
SO, WHY COPY PROTECTION ?
