Presumably it uses a data track and Windows' nasty auto-run-executable-on-CD feature to create the actual annoying messages. I guess that in itself would prevent ripping by some particularly naive Windows users. Of course, it might well be combine with some actual copy protection scheme that involves damaging the CD in some way. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
