+\subsection{Copy Protection}
+
+The ScummVM team does not condone piracy. However, there are cases when
+LucasArts themselves bundled cracked interpreters with their own games --
+the data files still contain the copy protection scripts, but the interpreter
+bypasses them. There is no way for us to tell the difference between legitimate
+and pirated data files, so for the games where we know the original interpreter
+may have been cracked ScummVM will always have to bypass the copy protection.
+
+Wyrmkeep Entertainment kindly let us skip protection in floppy version of
+Inherit the Earth since it was disabled in all CD releases of the game.
+
+At the time of writing, that includes the following games:
+
+\begin{tabular}{l}
+Indiana Jones \& the Last Crusade (EGA)\\
+Indiana Jones \& the Last Crusade (FM-TOWNS version)\\
+Inherit the Earth (floppy version)\\
+Loom (16 color floppy version)\\
+Maniac Mansion\\
+Monkey Island 1 (EGA)\\
+Monkey Island 1 (VGA)\\
+Monkey Island 2\\
+Zak McKracken (EGA)\\
+Zak McKracken (FM-TOWNS version)\\
+\\
+Beneath a Steel Sky (bypassed with permission from Revolution)\\
+Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb
+\end{tabular}
+
+In some cases ScummVM will still show the copy protection screen. Try entering
+any answer. Chances are that it will work.
