So, unless the whole MotP DVD is 885KB, and it is not 
ARccOS-protected, I have just proven my point.  Feel free to refute it 
if you like.  I am not perfect and have been wrong before.  I am only 
pushing this issue because I am very interested in copy protection 
mechanisms.  I don't mean to sound like a jerk by continuing to pursue 
this thread!!!  I spent a lot of my youth futzing around with copy 
protection mechanisms, not just focused on the PC.  Anyone remember 
Sony's Macrovision protection on VHS tapes?
