Yeah, I found this definition very humorous. But you have a good point here.
The only [well known] protection scheme I know of that hasn't been cracked
is the 7800 encryption. And that's not software protection, strictly speaking.
If someone is determined to crack the 16K cart, it could be done. But it
will be a HELLUVA LOT HARDER to do it!
