Sounds like they may be deliberately introducing errors (with proprietry cd
writing software?), like those used on securom/laserloc etc. Anyone having
used clonecd to back up their precious, legal game CDs will know how easy
this system is to foil.

They'll never learn, will they? I bawk at the stupidity of large companies
in a lot of situations, but this one is just insane.
