Story: 'Taster' pirated copies lure gaming fans

Just make a few copies and play each one from the point the last one "fades"! I don't agree with piracy, but they need better than this. When I read this it seemed obvious how to get around it - as every game has saved positions, and the word will get around what games have "fading" in them, before playing just make two or three copies (an hour and a buck worth of CD-R's) and play it and save it till copy 1 fades, then plug in copy 2 and play from the last save game, then when that fades, plug in copy 3 etc. Unless I'm reading the system waaaay wrong, its as easy as that. It isn;t even "check" for the software pirates, let alone "checkmate". C'mon industry, you must be able to do better than this....
