The perils of DRM were no different back then, except that the term hadn't been coined yet.
I remember disassembling and working around the tape loader for a game on my C64 just so I could copy it to disk. I had no intention of sharing it with anybody, I just wanted to get around the atrocious loading times.
Today I download cracks for the games I buy (no need to write them yourself anymore) so I can run them without needing to have the DVD inserted. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
