Wasn't it something like a 30k file?  We had so much fun
laughing at that one.  Still didn't use their crap software
though.

Same thing with the ID Quake 1 shareware CD.  Every game they
made at the time (and prior) was available on that CD for $6. 
Companies shouldn't keep trying to reinvent the wheel when it
comes to encryption.  I doubt A/W actually loses many
real sales when Maya flexm is cracked but i'd wager that this
one showed up as at least as a small dip in ID's profit
graphs.
