Hidden Message

The following message appears on sector 12 of the disk and can be viewed using a sector editor.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY CODE? YOU REALLY MUST HAVE SOMETHING 
BETTER TO DO THAN RIP ME OFF. BY TRYING TO CRACK THIS CODE YOU'RE 
CHEATING ME OUT OF WHAT I SHOULD EARN FOR THE WORK I PUT INTO IT. 
I WORKED HARD TO MAKE THIS GAME AND REALLY RESENT THAT I HAVE TO 
GO TO THESE LENGTHS TO KEEP PIRATES OUT OF MY CODE. BUT AS LONG AS
THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE YOU TRYING TO CHEAT PEOPLE LIKE ME, I'LL BE 
SPENDING AS MUCH TIME WRITING THIS SENSELESS PROTECTION AS I DO 
WRITING GAMES. SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST GIVE UP RIGHT NOW AND TELL 
YOUR PIRATE FRIENDS THAT YOU COULDN'T CRACK BLUE MAX. SPEND YOUR 
TIME DOING SOMETHING USEFUL WITH YOUR TALENTS, INSTEAD OF MAKING 
ME WASTE MINE. AND DON'T BOTHER LOOKING FOR MORE MESSAGES, THIS 
IS THE LAST OF THEM.        PETER ADAMS
