Very good topic!. I have four kids and the only way they can ever play a game I buy is if I can make a working backup of the game ( they have cost me a small fortune in re-buys. I do not have the patience to wait for the company to send me another working copy, LOL) Once the companies started using protection I started doing searches to see if there was a place I could find to make legitamate copies of the software I have already paid my hard dollar for. I have no problems with companies wanting to get all the money they are entitled to for a good product ( I have bought many games that I gave to my kids to turn into useless coasters, it is part of the gamers world as it is in watching movie reviews to decide on which movie you would like to see.). As for licencing agreements everyone knows that when they buy software they are buying into the agreement of the company, I can see there side... for instance I can go buy starcraft and since it only has a cd-key barrier all I have to do is copy the game write the cd-key down, rebox the origional and take it back to the store to get my money back. That would destroy there business if they had to give refunds. Cheers
