    Well, that's what you get. There are good things you can do, but all it takes is one bad person to stuff it up for the good people.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    You can copy them yes, but sometimes the copy protection will stop the copy from executig properly. This would technically be a breach of copyright laws but I doubt it is challenged very much

    I live in england where u are allowed a personal backup, so if a company does prdoce a cd that has somesort of protection on it you are legally allowed to do break that protection, such as using vertual drives or no cd cracks. but only if u own an original copy.


    I reject your reality and substitute my own.

    You live in England? So this does not apply to Britain then? Only England?

    The whole problem with these EULA's is that they are full of grey areas that are open to interpretation.
