Maybe you Arkansas boys were just too dumb to steal it. I, on the other hand, would attend "computer club" meetings in our public library, where the software would be distributed freely, disassemblers would be distributed, and the primitive forms of copy protection would be defeated, mainly by just inserting a JMP instruction to skip past it.

Those were the DAYS, my friend!

I also belonged to an exclusive pirate bulletin board with private sections that it seemed almost all the programmers everywhere belonged to. We'd have new software before it was even released, for FREE.
