Copy protection isn't just futile- it can cost you sales if done badly. Case in point are the schemes that cost 10-20 FPS in performance. This gives -everyone- an incentive to crack the game. And it always is.

CD checks can be bad too. SF's for example has the auto-run always triggering the installer..annoying. It also costs laptop Users power unless they dedicate a lot of HD space to a copy of the game cD.
