1. I\\\'m pretty sure I read somewhere that the page quote (currently the infamous \\\"buy this game or die\\\" line from Pokemon Fire Red and Pokemon Leaf Green) is not actually in any physical (or even every illegal) copy of the game, leading people to believe that it was inserted by the...what\\\'s the term again? ROM Dumpers?

2. I believe the Microprose game CovertAction has copy protection in it. At least, I saw it on a play through by Frankomatic. I also remember him saying it was broken...but I don\\\'t own the game, so I can\\\'t check.

3. As an programmer in training (in college) with dreams about developing video games and other software, this page makes me feel sick to my stomach. I\\\'ve always felt that copy protection only really hurts legitimate consumers, and this page cements that feeling. As long as I have a choice (and admittedly, I may never have one), I will refuse to use DRM. It\\\'s just...evil. :(
