Valve's DRM was inspired by an exec's nephew, who 'used a $500 check I'd sent him for school expenses and bought himself a CD-ROM replicator… he sent me a lovely thank you note' (www.pcgamer.com)

The heady days of using Copy-b and Copy-c in the Commodore 64 days. Back when floppies were really floppies.

    Friend of mine we by to the store to buy c64 games on tape. Took them home, copied them using a thing that would connect to datasette units at once. Went back to the store to return our exchange.

    After a few rounds of this, the store said no more exchanges

    Then he recorded a few seconds of silence somewhere on the tape and said 'but it's defective'.

    Man. We were high rollers.
