I personaly own over 50 original games for my PC, the first thing I do when I get a new game is to download the latest patch to fix all the bugs hopefuly and  then download a NO CD/DVD so I dont have to keep swapping out discs when I change games (not sure if what I'm doing is considered pircay or not).

My point is, software companies are wasting a lot of money on elaborate disc protection schemes in a futile effort to stop piracy, hardcore pirates will nearly always find away around disc protection schemes, all your doing is giving them noteriety for being the first ones to break your so called unbreakable protection schemes and the only people you are potentialy stopping from copying games are the casual/non hardcore gamers which a simple non restrictive serial number or old style look in manual for correct word style protection would be just as effective.

don't wast your time and money on protection schemes, honest people will always be hones and buy the games they love and the dishonest pirates will pretty much always be dishonest and find the way to take what they want for free. so let the honest people have their cake and enjoy it.
