Using a Comiket directory as copyprotection sure is a technique I never would’ve thought of! Imagine if old PC games did this: “flip to page 35 of the C25 guide and type the name of the 5th circle” lol

#CopyProtection back in the day

nice try #VCR industrie:
A warning label on a videotape cautioning against copying, stating that a "VCR virus" could damage recording devices and that NHV is not liable for any resulting damage.

A year ago, I also made a video of the Maniac Mansion copy protection. The consequences are more serious than in Zak McKracken when you fail ☢️

Meaningless slogans spray painted on the side would be just as effective as Phil's vibe coaching.

Ooh, then 90's game copyprotection style stencils exposing only the appropriate words after games:
"Best midfielder in the league" vs "The DPs have to show up" vs "I take full responsibility"

I played and enjoyed the B&W Mac version. The thing I remember best is that it had copyprotection where if you didn't enter the right code, the opening duel almost impossible. But only almost! You could beat it and then play.

Wonder if @RNLI can find some way to make pictures like this available as eCards?

A lot of my contacts said last year they would cease sending physical #ChristmasCards mainly due to postage cost, but making donation instead.

eCards allow you to do both
Copyright? CopyProtection?

Found my USB DVD/CD writer so was ddrescue-ing some CD's and DVD's from the past.

Funny that many of them need to be in reverse mode to get to 97-99% and then while still trying to dd the copyprotection I'm already mounting the image in the background, install and testing the game. 🤣

Our wedding game was a weird 11am Saturday game that was not on TV but MLB made it available for purchase with ballpark video + WCCO Radio audio & we bought it! But it used weird copyprotection software & I can't access it & whenever I've tried over the years to get the game somehow I've failed. 😭

World Cup Streaming: Millions Watch While Thousands of Websites Vanish Overnight
Authorities nuked 1,000 pirate streaming sites during the World Cup. Millions still watched illegally anyway. The legal infrastructure existed. So did five different subscription services. You do the math.
