I have always had fairly strong opiums about copy protection. ;-) (Or is that opinions?) Anyway, I felt left out in the cold by many sofware packages. I am basically insecure when it comes to having only one copy of important software!! I tried lots of backup programs, and then finally stumbled into Mirror Hacker Package. This allowed me to understand many of the most popular protection schemes and provided the tools to overcome them. I won't give away their secrets. Just as I won't give away my backups of other software. They deserve the money for their tools and information. They have a good product!! You can find them through old copies of AmigaWorld. Buy it!!! Don White Box 271177 Concord CA. 94527-1177 by wanting programs, but knowing that I couldn't back them up

Does anyone have a list of non-protected software? I want to begin only buying non-protected software. I am getting a hard drive soon and it is a waste to buy protected software at all when i want speed from the hard disk. The point is, I would like a list of non-protection companies or non-protection programs. Perhaps others would like a compilation of a list too? Then we can begin swaying our habits to the "more intelligently made" software. After all, there is no honor in "cracking" unprotected software. Byron
