You know that the new versions of PS CS2 are nearly impossible to crack...
The WERE nearly impossible to "crack," yes, for about 24-48 hours after their release.
There is absolutely NO cryptographic scheme of any sort that is impossible to "crack;" their level of security is dependant on the time an resources of those who would seek to challenge it. If your're seriously interested in cryptography, check out sci.crypt; there's some EXCELLLENT material there. Hell, even if you're not seriously interested, I'd at least read the sci.crypt FAQ (trust me; you'll be surprised at it's contents).

Ya, I agree, I think it is more risky to do now though, or something...
Not at all. Penalties for piracy haven't really changed that drastically over the years. The only difference is, when some 13 year old kid gets "busted" but the RIAA for sharing a few Metallica cuts over a P2P network, the media is all over it like white on rice. But I digress, this is a topic for another time in another thread. Sorry to go off on a tangent and hijack your thread.
As for the real reason we're all here (your label)...
F'n A! Great job my friend! Looks very professional!
As for your instinct that it (the oval) is a bit too wide; I'd say follow it and narrow that oval down a bit if it's bugging you. If you don't, every time you look at that label, you'll think "Man, I should have made that lable just a bit more narrow...!" and it will drive you nuts.
I think 99.9% of people aren't going to notice the difference one way or the other, but being the sort of person who sweats minutia like that, I myself would probably make it a bit narrower, too, just to make myself happy.
Whatever you decide to do, the labels look fantastic! I'd be proud to have that label grace my bottles were I you. :rockin:
