Hmm, getting a bit carried away here but then this be my own thought and
opion

My wish is the a Sam Emu is a COMPLETE emulation right down to Floppy Drive
Access, but what i don't want is it to create or beable to create IMAGES of
disks that can then be transfered with out any problems or work as free as
anyone would want to.

To make a BACKUP of protected material , would invole some work and
knowledge that 99% of the population would not be able to do , (They say my
kids are in the computer age , but all they can do is plug a cartridge in
:) ). So by one act of so called *NON ILLEGAL* (still looking for
confirmationon this) act of deprotecting software and/or Hardware , one as
made the other 99% of population capable of *PIRACY* , which is Illegal.

As a developer of software , which a present is costing over £250,000 to
write a product for 18months on PSX , and will have to sell over 80,000
copies to break even (Not taking into account the advertisment campain which
usuall come in at another £500,000 ) , any form of BACKING up is going to
cost me loads , and I decline to authorize ANYONE to make a COPY of my
software.

@ the end of the day proceeds of cash you buy software go as follows

40% -> Shop
10-20% -> First Party (Nintendo,Sega,Sony etc.)
5% -> Distrubutor (From Publihser to Shop)
2% -> Developer

The rest goes to Publisher and License agreements
