Common knowledge

This has been common knowledge for years. Yes, it works in OS X too. Takes up a lot of disk space tho'. Game developers know about it ! There are indeed some programs that try to prevent this practice. So while I don't think this was really new info, some may not have known, so it's a useful tip. Developers certainly were aware of it !

Copy protection is simply a matter of making hurdles to doing what you want. The sad part about all this is that many people PAY for software they CAN NOT use or they can not easily use the way they would like. I do not know about anyone here, but the new disk copy sucks. I mean it should have options to be as simple as the old disk copy... making an image out of
a drive
a folder
a disks...

maybe I am missing something here but showing those low level partition schemes is stupid. I mean it may have a purpose, but I've never needed it before and wonder why the added complexit is the ONLY option?

MACROVISION SUXs too!

Remember you do NOT own the software you buy! You have NO rights. You might as well setup a commune somewhere. Have a nice day!
