If you lose ANY of "the features that are included on the CD", then you got a shitty, probably home-brewed, release. No self-respecting warez group will settle for anything less than 100%, the only exception being online, multiplayer games that do cd-key verification with a central server each time you play them. There ARE "rips" out there, where groups will remove extraneous movies, music, speech, etc, but only for the purpose of getting the release size down so that people on dial-ups can handle the download. Given that most warez monkeys are computer-centric, they tend to have broadband and scoff at "rips".

to know your market? In which case, treating your potential customers like criminals would, in fact, be the best way to increase sales. I'm not saying that the SSSCA is the best or only way to "appeal" to this market, but it has become very clear that far more people are interested in stealing entertainment than in paying for it.

when appropriating GPL'ed source into closed-source projects, of course, is simply to make it hard to tell that you've taken the code in the first place. I've done this on several commercial projects, and no one has been the wiser. In this case, this would've meant a complete UI rewrite (not much more than a couple hours worth of drag-n-drop given the capabilities of a development environment like one from Microsoft's excellent Visual series). The core code, though, could be left practically unchanged. A simple search and replace through files for incriminating evidence like the word "gnucleus" would take care of most of your worries (since you wouldn't want this string to end up embedded in the binary).
Pretty basic stuff, really. I hope this helps, and I'm glad to see that others are taking advantage of GPL'ed software in this way. Granted, it can be very difficult to find anything GPL'ed that's worth stealing (why do you suppose it was released under the GPL in the first place?), but when you do, it can potentially save you some time, and even be profitable.
You could jam these things in your ass, but really, what's the point? They are just too small to be worthwhile. Maybe as training devices for the uninitiated... Personally, I will stick to my big, rusty, stinky, Tonka truck, and I suspect I am not alone in this.
Hey: shut the fuck up. And the next time you use either parentheses or brackets, I am going to punch you in the nads. And that's "nads" as in "testicles", not "Nad's" as in the depilatory, the production and export of which made up 64% of Australia's GNP last year.

Well, that solves that. Or something.
This is informative because the author read the article.
What's the problem here?
would pay better, and be better to look at.
"Our records indicate that you're using more than the allotted amount of data transfer we provide for a free web site, which is 3 gigabytes per month (measured on an hourly basis)."
So about 4 megs an hour. Yeeeeehaw!

Needless to say, this is a gay porn link. Only click if you want to see one guy eating (drinking?) soupy shit straight from another's hairy ass.
About ten, if you count apple sauce enemas.
Mary can suck my dick, that dumb slut.

All your web site proves is that you are a complete cocksucker.

Well worth the click.
You must be stupid enough to say "x degrees Kelvin". Pathetic little EuropeOn.

Don't forget Dee Snider from Twisted Sister.
You are a fucking moron.
I thought you Yids were into smoked fish.
That's because your iBook is grossly underpowered. A 500MHz G3 is the equivalent of a 200MHz Pentium I.
Jack Valenti must shove his head up Jon Katz's ass.
You are a complete fucking homo, and a disgrace to people with negative karma everywhere.

Fuck you!
You should clean your keyboard.
