[extropy-chat] FWD (SK) RFC: copy protection report

[Terry W. Colvin]

My boss (who is new to the company) has gotten it into his head that we

absolutely MUST have copy protection on our next software product. We make 
extremely specialized test tools for development and QA engineers, not 
games or graphics apps. In the entire history of our company, we have never 
used copy protection, we've never seen any use for it.

Nonetheless, the new boss is not dissuaded. To that end, I've been ordered 
to produce a report on all the available copy protection schemes and make a 
recommendation on which one we should use.

I have written this

http://www.magicdave.com/private/browse/CopyProtection.pdf

and I invite any and all to critique/comment on it. I think I've reached a 
correct conclusion, but I'd really like this to be bulletproof, my ass may 
be riding on it. Feel free to pass it around. I have to present it next 
Tuesday.

Dave Palmer
