Care to elaborate for the archives. Also, what was the app? It may be 
benificial to use a 'crack' that disables the protection. One argument I 
have heard for using the crack is that companys have to write to see if 
you CD is still intact and that it hasn't been scrated by taking it out 
and putting it back in the cdrom drive every time you start a different 
application. They should check it when you install and work on trust 
after that.
