Thoughts on copy protection
Posted by Greg S Trouw OK guys, this was a post I made in reply on a thread about winXK beta 2 and why we are having to wait longer for it (not showing up on subscriber downloads) over at microsoft.public.msdn.general Thing is, many want to get to testing their apps for compatibility and get on with providing software support, but we're having to wait for CDs likely, unlike in the past where we could download, because of this copy protection thing it would seem. Not like software support isn't of benefit however. This reply would not post...other posts would, and to get it to post, I had to leave out my opinions on copy protection specifically. Well, I'm still hoping that it was a network error and nothing more, but I attempted a few times when other things showed up including from myself but not it), same result... This sets the stage for my copied post in the attached message...context it was given in. I do think discussion of copy protection and what people think of it, people's feedback is reasonable, so am posting what I had to say about copy protection over here.
