Perhaps. And perhaps not. Everyone is working on what their produce, but I think it all goes back to you choosing, in your mind, how much work and effort deserves being paid for. People have different opinions on that. I do not tend to defend my friend, nore crytisize her, but am just stating

I have never used a crack, audio-game-wise, and I have no intention of doing so. I can't pay for any games, so I'm not going to play them. Simple. I, also, wish to be left out of the matter. As far as one is concerned, I just stated a friend's opinion. My own opinion, stays a secret with me. :)

Hi Damien, Yeah, one time random keys do wonders for cutting down the cracking of software. However, the problem with that method of security is it is just as effective in blocking access to the program for the legal user as the illegal one. For example, let us say you create a random seed
