As part of the copy protection, illegal copies would cause a fully polyphonic rendition of Trumpet Hornpipe, the Captain Pugwash theme tune, to play endlessly rather than loading the game properly (Pugwash being a pirate).

Frak! is a 1980s computer game originally programmed by Orlando (aka Nick Pelling) for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron and published by his own 'Aardvark' software label in 1984.

On the Electron, this 'piracy' tune was replaced by the tune Yakety Sax, the theme from 'Benny Hill'.
ProAction did also sell games from other companies too like Frak! from GEK Studios.
