Exactly. It isn't really the amount it adds on to the cost of a blank CD, because as you say it is a couple of pence at the most, but it is instead the principle of the thing.
And I completely agree. Any digital file can be copied. And as all copy protection is created, it can also therefore be broken.

Very true. You definitely don't get the same thrill and excitement by just visiting a torrent site or using a search engine to find and download what you are looking for, compared to physically go around a friends house with a stack of blank disks, copying the new software, and then going home to test them all out.
Although I do still get a great buzz when I find something retro on a members site that I've been after and can finally get. That is still great.
