It was mostly used to connect external peripherals like scanners, sound samplers and video digitizers. There were a few others like realtime clocks, an Ultimate Ripper cartridge and a few utils. And copyprotection dongles for professional music software of course.

Easy fix: Get x identical systems..... divert them on type of anticheat/copyprotection used. Use KVM-Switch to save on Monitors etc.

Today in software development genius.
Atlus decided to publish a demo for metaphor refantazio
That's fine however for some reason that demo includes the entire game and no copyprotection.
So people just found a way to bypass the demo ending.

No copyprotection, no problem! In the AGI version of King's Quest IV you just have to type in ALT D and then type some magic words.
This game runs on the DosBox.

Read the DMCA thoroughly. In the US you do not have a right to circumvent any copyprotection unless you have explicit permission from the Librarian of Congress. Typically that's only granted if you're bypassing encryption for research official preservation for the masses.๐ฏ

Nintendo has just issued multiple DMCA takedown requests to GitHub, including for Lockpick, the tool for dumping keys from YOUR OWN Switch, which is absolutely ludicrous - pirates aren't gonna be sourcing keys from their own consoles!

Plus I'm not sure there's any happy outcome to regulating. Only options I see:
-Illegal but impossible to stop (ex. pirating)
-Orwellian control over what programs we have on our computers
-Limit the tech to just corps/gov and not allow common people to use it via copyprotection

Copy protection mechanisms in the 80s and 90s were quite interesting! Andrew McFadden gets into some of the details with an Apple ][.
