its even more rediculous how trivial it is to bypass. Again I came ot the same conclusion about using that demo program for this purpose, anyone who has the licensed codecs does it because they want the licenses not just for the codec. I think of it more as a 'soft hardware lock' since it is so trivial to bypass ... nuisanceware :) -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast IE +44 28 9099 6461 DE +49 801 777 555 3402 Utrecht NL +31 306 553058 US WA +1 360 207 0479 US NY +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.trxtel.com we pay you to terminate calls with us!
