No. This is an unreasonable request. Pirates! uses a manual-lookup copy protection scheme, but it does not prevent you from playing the game. If you can't answer the questions, your initial circumstances are disadvantageous & the game is harder. I played Pirates! this way for a day or so, then ordered my own copy. It was well worth it. It's outrageous to steal a programmer's time when you clearly find the time spent playing the game to be worthwhile. I don't normally have strong opinions on this issue, (at least not strong enough to provoke a post) but if we don't police ourselves, the Mac game environment *will* degenerate. If you enjoy playing the game, BUY IT! --Greg
