It's been proved time and time again that copy protection schemes
do not work and in truth really only harm the legitimate user.
I know of several users of professional video editing programs
that actually use cracked versions even though they are legally
licensed to use the programs.
Why?
Dongles going south at the worst time.
PACE copy protection scheme that confounds hdisk backups
and defrag programs.
And other PITA reasons like on-line challenge schemes that
don't allow copy/paste and require 58989 characters to
be typed in correctly. Well, sort of.
