10 days? Perfect; just enough time to take it home, copy it, scan the
manuals and get a nice gold version.

I knew some mates who used to goto John Menzies and get a PC game. Copy
it amoung themselves, take it back , and give some crap technical reason
for the game not working which workers at that shop would not understand
and allow them their money back or exchange the game.

It is things like this that also help the pirates. It is a shame there is
no real solutions.

The next problem that Sony might face is that the PS2 will (eventually)
have a hard drive which raises fears that games can be downloaded via it's
internet connection and store pirate games on the HD.

There does seem to be no solution to Piracy. Unless Amiga have had a
brainwave. (Gary?)
