All such schemes are defeatable, so you're only actually restricting the honest users, while not actually preventing any significant piracy. In other words, they inconvenience their dedicated user base while accomplishing nothing at all in terms of increased revenues (they don't get any more sales, they just have fewer casual users running the program illegally). -- David W.
