When an user opens a shrink-wrapped Copy II Mac disk, he/she has agreed to
all terms and conditions listed in the manual.  One of these terms is that
Copy II Mac is restrictly for personal backups only.  If the user decides
to pirate using Copy II, then he/she has violated his/her agreement with
Central Point Software (publisher of Copy II).  Therefore CPS is not
responsible for the piracy.

However, public posts of deprotection information has no such agreement
between the readers and authors.  Informations are given unconditionally
to readers.
