There is nothing to stop someone from breakng the CD player to get the disk out. Just like with hackers and viral pranksters; eventually they will find a way around the security measure. The only thing that has any hope of even partly eliminating the problem is strict enforcement of the laws, with extreme penalties. I am not saying I advocate this for "pirates", I'm undecided on that. However, I do advocate strict, stern punnishment for hackers and the fathers of new viruses.

On another note, can anyone tell me why some posts; like this one, get re-posted every time someone responds to it, while others need 50 hits? Thanks in advance.

Not sure if I understand the question, but you may be referring to the fact that an article with a reply makes its way to the top of the posting list.

This is what is called bump to the top or (BTTT).

Not sure about the 50 posts thing.
