Gang,The writing is on the wall.... Since 2000 the sales down between 10-20% a year.
As soon as we get rid of DRM then full content will be easily available for download by more companies and that will be just the future.
I use to create copy protection software/hardware for a company a long time ago. After about 10 years of headache's with this stuff I was in a national meeting took out my hp calculator and determined that it cost us in the neighborhood of about $14M. That was the last day we had copy protection in any software.
It's not worth it and more money will be made without it.
Thanks,
Gordon
