Yep, it wont stop the copying , but then if a machine has to read
something (Cd / Rom / Dvd) , then anyone who can program can remove
protection , just by stepping though hex. But if it's a HW protection
that's another story

Copy protection is only intended to stop the casual copyier (i.e Numpty
with a burner), and if the crackers didn't release the crack , then 99%
of the peeps out there without the knowledge would either buy or not use

It's the 1% that can hack/crack that we will never stop , oh and the big
Hong Kong Copiers/Dupers are included in that :)

And don't forget that a Very high % of the stuff that ends up In WAREZ ,
was release from Dev/Beta/Duplicators before it even hits the streets,
and that just stupid we are kill our own jobs

err? that might be a possible solution for your specific problem, but
its kinda useless for copy-protection purposes dont you think?
