Two things. First:
-->\\\"These tended to either be prone to locking a player out of playing a legal copy (which the software makers didn\\\'t care so much about)...\\\"

Even if we assume that people who make games don\\\'t care about the people who are going to play them, which sounds like a shaky assumption, wouldn\\\'t this drive down sales?

Second, and I\\\'m having even more trouble following this one: How is using the contents of the manual as a failsafe \\\"intrusive\\\"? I\\\'ll grant you frustrating, especially if something happened to the manual, but what\\\'s intrusive about it?
