To be honest, I don't see the problem with copy protection - you can't make 
a backup,
but how many people back their games up anyway? I prefer, and mostly use, Free
software, but regardless if you choose to buy commercial software, then you 
agree to
the license that comes with it (or return the software). At what point is 
the copy
protection a problem unless_ you are attempting to break the license agreement?

If no one pirated commercial software, companies wouldn't feel the need for 
copy
protection.

I'll just go and hide in my bunker now...
