A friend and I in our early teens would purchase games for our C64 computers. This was a time before store return policies prevented getting your money back. The games were always on 5-1/4" floppies. We would attempt to crack the copy protection via purchased cracking software, or our own cobbled-together scripts. We wanted a copy for ourselves. This would usually work, and we would then return the game, with some lame excuse like "we bought the wrong one".

Sometimes, we couldn't crack the game. As a last resort, we would gently peel the game sticker off the store floppy, and glue it on an blank floppy. We would go back to the store, and say "uhh...this game doesn't work". They would give us our money back - rarely with any resistance.

We would then walk to the game section and pick out another game.

Muahahah.
