protection.

i have run into the software copy protection conundrum. having come back from vacation, i had an urge to play warcraft 2 again. i have a bought and paid for copy. i even still have the manual.

what i don't have any more is the CD case. this is because it was run over while we were moving. i have discovered that the CD case was the only place the serial number is stored. so now i am in the awkward position of having to scrape the net to find an illegal serial and/or crack for a game which i legally own.

this is irritating.
