yes my original CD's. But my point was that all this protection is
useless because it can be bypassed someway or the other and it;s just a
matter of time ... while the only ones hurt by all the extensive protection
are the legitimate buyers .. because they have to pull up with the
consequences of these thought-to-be-strict protection. like for instant all
of us using Clone CD having to remove it because it's on the Games Industry
Black List .. Or like old CD Drives not Reading the CD's correctly because
they can't deal properly with the Up-To-Date Pain-In-The-Ass Protections ..
and for what .. CD Pirates have fully working copies without any huss or
pain dealing with these protections.
