Actualy the "facist" program does three things:

1) Once it finds the the "unregistered" program not only does it delete
   it, it also marks the blocks as bad blocks so you lose use of that 
   much of your hard disk until you reformat the drive. 

2) It also installs a init code resource in to the system file
   that prevents you from trying to re-copy the "unregistered" program back
   on to your hard disk.

3) This is the one that took the most time to implement but I am very proud
   of. The program installs a VBL task that when triggered from the code
   in the system file detecting you trying to copy on to your hard disk a 
   "unregistered" program, the VBL task diverts the output from the flyback
   transformer down the ADB bus and gives you a High Voltage shock if you are
   holding the mouse. This of course comes with some compatability problems,
   but I felt the benefits of zapping that determined user far outway the cost.

I can't  do much about your newspaper except try to introduce a virus into
your computer system.
 
If this article needs smilely's then we are in BIG trouble.
