Wow Diki!! .................I'm glad you aren't running for president on that campaign. Sony spent millions on DVD protection years ago, and some smart ass told the world how to beat it within a week of its implementation. Limewire and other sites online offer anything you want for free or little money, if you don't care about copyright. You can't teach and preach integrity. I sometimes think the challenge of cracking something forbidden or copyrighted is what drives these hackers. Last year I paid $400 for my own real licensed copy of Vista. It was the first time I ever paid money for an operating system. I always "found" copys of previous OS's. At first I felt good about having an authentic version, then I felt screwed about having the worst operating system I ever had. It cost a lot more to get the better hardware and software to get it to run its best. And my favorite soundblaster card I loved are junk now. Vista will never allow them.............. Of course I'm rambling now, but just remember..........Be careful in what you ask for. You may just get it! -charley
