I think it's pretty sad that they're still fighting things, every copy protection anyone has ever come up with has been cracked or some loophole found to get around it. The money spent in researching the copy protection alone could have been used to make their product that much better.

I did tell a friend (who works in tech support for an isp) about this and he simply replied with this:
sure it will..most people I talk to on a daily basis can't even find the fvcking START button

Remember, it only has to be broken ONCE...

Some networks have policies deployed that prevent autorun on all of the workstations attached to it, as a security and virus prevention measure.

I wonder what the RIAA/DMCA thinks of that.
