You mean like those old dongles that you used to have to attach to the
parallel port? Yuck!

Copy protection schemes have been around since before IBM introduced
the PC in 1981. This ranged from the above noted hardware dongles, to
requiring the floppy or tape which used a strange format, to a "hidden"
disk file in a hidden directory, or even recording exactly where (track,
sector, and head) some file was put on the disk... you name it, it's
been tried - maybe even before you were born - and it did not work then.
Want to put it on a USB or Firewire device? Want to think that differs
from what has been done before?
