Snake785:

if I want to copy the music off a copy protected CD, I'll just rip it from a CD player that's connected to my computer via line in. With high quality cables, I can still get good quality.

thats how i pull it off!
besides, decent cables arent frightfully expensive these days.

Player-X has excellent points on piracy. once a new security measure comes out, hackers take on the challenge to BREAK that protection, which after a bit of time THEY DO! any piece of computer code can be reversed, regardless of the security.

bottom line: piracy cannot be stopped. piracy can only be inspired more by making more copy protection measures

On the other hand you can stop piracy by making your crap so good that people actuaily want to buy them

brilliant point. there are tons of cds/games that i have busted my behind to find and purchase because they were that good
