No "arrrr matey" to it at all.
I haven't run a hacked program for quite some time & I use a music subscription service. Hell, I even purchased 3 copies of XP during the last year (first time I bought an OS since dos 6.2 :) ).
I use daemon tools for legal purposes (running virtual game disks to keep the originals in original condition).
I don't mind content producers using cryptographic or other means to ensure that their products aren't pirated. I support methods like XP's authentication as long as they work and don't prevent me from making backup copies for my own legal use.
What I hate is crapware like starforce which goes beyond protecting content and starts enfringing on my rights.
Hehehe..... don't get me started....... :)
