Sorry, wasn't alarmed in anyway....
WS2 does have a button to selct for copy protection, with macrovision. It
doesn't allow you to add macrovision, but sets flags that the replication
house can use. It needs to go out on DLT and I found this........ which
isn't really going to help your aerage Joe in copy protection, you could
give away a million extra copies to counteract teh fees
Graham, still smiliing

CSS licensing was administered on an interim basis by Matsushita.
Macrovision licenses its analog anti-recording technology to hardware
makers. There is a $30,000 initial charge, with a $15,000 yearly renewal
fee. The fees support certification of players to ensure widest
compatibility with televisions. There are no royalty charges for player
manufacturers. Macrovision charges a royalty to content publishers
(approximately 4 to 10 cents per disc, compared to 2 to 5 cents for a VHS
tape).

Calm down Graham
I could have sworn I remembered seeing a copy protect option in the
settings for WS2.
I haven't reinstalled since removing Vista from my main machine so I can't
look but I believe you.
I have to look through some of my stuff to see what program I saw that
option in because I know I saw it someplace.
