I am all for copyrighting stuff. Pretecting things. If people want something bad enough, they will find a way. What I don't like is the attitude they have of basically "hacking" your computer. Launching DOS attacks against infringers. That is what is scary. The same people that DISPISE hackers, are gonna turn around and become hackers. Weird phenomenon.
