It's this kind of fruit-cake copy protection by software companies 
that would drive me to seek out "crack" sites.  If the company 
handles it without hassle, then that's probably less trouble than 
searching for a crack, but if the company gives him the run-around 
it's time for a little self-help with the software he's already 
purchased.

Games that only run with the CD in teh drive annoy me in the same way 
though to a lesser extent.
