Neat copy protection scheme. Reminds me of the GC/Wii disk protection (also based on holes punched by a laser), but on read-write floppies. The obfuscation is similar to what we do for antitampering on The Homebrew Channel (but we go a bit further :P).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qaq9vlfoGnA …
Because at that point you get a "you have been scammed" warning for three minutes (or one hour, in special cases) when starting up, and we figure that's punishment enough.
