Spoke  words of SEEMING wisdom,which all should take with a grain of
salt:

>Face it, we are the losers when dealing with this crap. Because of some

Regardless, no company has a right to access personal info you store
on your personal computer, plus there ARE ways to get around the
CD-R.. for one a very good baseball Sim requires one either insert
a KEY disk you get with game..with option to transfer once the copy
prot to the HD, or just use key disk always.

If your transfered CP is messed up, you then need use key disk each
time play.

You cant copy the floppy either.

The Copy Prot is a nusience, but my point is it is a non invasive
scheme, plus one could copy that CRrom..but without the KEY Disk
your copys useless.

So dont tell me blizzard had no choice, they could have figured out a
way that required you use something like a  floppy key disk..etc.

Companys thinking they can access your HD and read all the info on it
are going to be lawsuited out of business.
