Granted not all authors are like that but you tend to lean that way after a while.
Mr. Flint seems to have the right idea.
"Baen Books is now making available -- for free -- a number of its titles in electronic format. We're calling it the Baen Free Library. Anyone who wishes can read these titles online -- no conditions, no strings attached. (Later we may ask for an extremely simple, name & email only, registration. ) Or, if you prefer, you can download the books in one of several formats. Again, with no conditions or strings attached. (URLs to sites which offer the readers for these format are also listed. ) Why are we doing this? Well, for two reasons. The first is what you might call a "matter of principle." This all started as a byproduct of an online "virtual brawl" I got into with a number of people, some of them professional SF authors, over the issue of online piracy of copyrighted works and what to do about it. There was a school of thought, which seemed to be picking up steam, that the way to handle the problem was with handcuffs and brass knucks. Enforcement! Regulation! New regulations! Tighter regulations! All out for the campaign against piracy! No quarter! Build more prisons! Harsher sentences! Alles in ordnung! I, ah, disagreed. Rather vociferously and belligerently, in fact. And I can be a vociferous and belligerent fellow. My own opinion, summarized briefly, is as follows:"
I hate things like that. I play to win, maintaining that constant advantage is important and the difficult part of being good. Given a handicap because you didn't fuck up makes it pointless to give it your all.
"Congress is concerned with the health of the U.S. economy, which affects the living standards of all Americans. The 2001 recession was unusually mild and brief by historical standards. At 120 months, the expansion that preceded it had been the longest in U.S. history. Is this a coincidence? A body of research concludes that it is not. Since 1984,"
Theres a way but you need to search google, it may differ depending on the version. Either way it is tough you will end up having to go into the registry to delete it.
A quick search provided this but if you're gonna mess with your registry I'd still recommend you search a bit yourself.
If you want to completely remove SecuROM after uninstalling this game, including the 'SecuROM User Access' Service it installs in Windows, follow these steps:
1. Uninstall the game as normal.
2. Manually delete the game directory (typically \Program Files\Atari\Crashday-demo\
3. Go to Start>Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) and press Enter.
4. Go to the 'Securom User Access' Service, double click on it, click Stop and then set it to Disabled.
5. Go to \Windows\System32\ directory and delete the UAService7.exe file.
6. Go to Start>Run and type "sc delete useraccess7" (without quotes) and press Enter.
Note: This Service may be recreated by one of your other SecuROM games, in which case you will have to keep it running to play them.
The following steps are very risky and only for people who are certain none of their currently installed games use or need SecuROM:
7. Go to \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ and delete the SecuROM sub-directory.
8. Go to Start>Run and type "Regedit" (without quotes) and press Enter. Then find the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SecuROM] key and delete it if possible.
There is no guaranteed removal method - each new SecuROM game may have additional secuROM files/folders which may require specific manual instructions for removal.
How about $5000/2years * 200 per employee. They knew what they were doing, let them taste the same justice as those they ruined with proof as strong as a screenshot of an IP.
"the Court ordered a trial of the damages unless the RIAA agrees to accept $200 -- rather than the $750-plus it seeks -- per infringed song."
"The upper house respects the rights of the accused, such as the right to have a defence lawyer, the right of appeal and other legal rights. But approval of the death sentence, in the statement published recently from the address of the upper house, was a technical mistake."
Executioner: I Apologize, my axe taking your Sons head was a technical mistake.
Grieving Mother:..
So you're saying that humanity's quest for understanding, knowledge and a look into how things work is terrorism?
US government policy is as well written as the mini-series V. Lets hope it succeeds in bankrupting the creators this time. *sigh* Perhaps I should use sarcasm tags next time..

I don't think it's that parents are too restrictive they either allow or ignore one of the above but the kicker to that is when their child gets sick they flip out and sue the next door neighbor for allowing their kid to play in mud..
I use rambus it came with the comp 4 years ago.. if I wanted to upgrade to 512 it would cost roughly $600 [obviously no shot in hell of that happening..]

Sorry, formated so it doesn't suck.

Of course, always blame it on 1984..

Lies and deceit. Served with ice, naturally.

Ah, but we can't give NASA more than 0.05% of the budget or the terrorists will win, or something like that..
Interesting.
So.. I guess shows over when they get caught?
I like how no one comments.. guess it's reaching deaf ears here on /.
