Ugh! Copy Protection! I have recently purchased a game that was so
heavily copy-protected that it would not boot AT ALL on my hardware
configuration! UGH!

I say we boycott ALL copy-protected software on ALL machines until the
developers change the name of their tune. Being a developer, myself, I 
can understand the concerns of both sides of the fence- but it's ridiculous
when the software won't run THE FIRST TIME!!!  :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

This annoyance must stop NOW!
