Ooohh, oooh! Evil-doers!!! ;-)
I consider a company that would make a product that incorrectly
prevents me from using a copy I legitimately purchased to be much,
much more evil than someone who uses an unlicensed copy. Why? Because
in the former case, I've actually paid for the thing, and money is
not a digital resource, so my resources have been reduced. Giving me
a product that incorrectly refuses to work is stealing. Copying a
digital resource does not reduce anyone's resources; what's 'taken'
is the potential sale, which is at best nebulous. If a zillion copies
of your software were made, how much does that reduce your bank
account? Zero.
