  For me, on the Amiga, the ultimate copy protection was a game that was so bad I didn&apos;t want to waste a disk copying it.

  Throughout modern human history, only one thing has actually worked as an anti-piracy measure, and it is quite simple: making piracy unviable. If you sell or provide your product at a low price—focusing on profiting from high demand—there is no room left for piracy. Companies insist on using an outdated, absurd model to charge users high prices, and this creates an opening for the illegal market. Movies used to be massively pirated via torrents, but once online platforms like Netflix emerged, piracy plummeted—at least until those idiots got greedy, started charging ridiculous amounts, and imposed limitations, as they have done in recent years. It’s not that movie torrents have ceased to exist, but they have become far less relevant; they are now mostly used to find films unavailable through legal channels or for niche purposes—like cinephiles who collect releases from different markets and own four copies of the same movie simply because the Asian version was four minutes shorter.<br><br>The average person has a sense of justice and kindness. If what you have to offer is fair, people will be nice to you.

  I woke up. Put on YouTube. Starting watching this. Brushed my teeth. Still watching it. Shaved. Still watching it. Took a shower. Still watching it. Got dressed and went to a doctors appointment. Still watching it. Heading back now. Still watching it. Not complaining. Love these deep dives documentary style like this. 🙏🏼

  For me, the breaking of the NES CIC security system, where it was necessary to open the silicon to take a look, is phenomenal. Simply put, the word &quot;failure&quot; was out of the question.

  &quot;&quot;Ocean Software boasted in magazines that it would take a sophisticated months and months to crack.&quot;<br><br>Oh no, you don&apos;t want to say that, that&apos;s just an invitation.<br><br>&quot;It only took Fairlight five and a half hours&quot;<br><br>Sounds about right.
