Default Re: SEIV is being Pirated

The only problem I see with the copy protection you mention Argh is what if the company goes under. You are stuck with the one installed Version and never will be able to install it again.

I too hate pirates. But over the years I have seen some really annoying copy protects
that have really complicated even installing a bit of software. Amusingly it has never seemed to even slow down pirates.

Kinda like gun laws. Average citizens here in the USA have to go through all sorts of hassles to get a liscense (not that I am against that). But your average criminal can get hold of a firearm in minutes. Heck I am not a criminal (I have some Law Enforcement background) but if I wanted to I could buy one in minutes illeagly.

I believe both of these problems have no solution.
