I get that, but I will draw an analogy for you. My dad cannot rip a commercial movie DVD and because he doesn't know how he even doesn't try. So if someone doesn't know how to crack it I'd say that most people will not even bother, very few might and some of those could succeed. But I can live with that and I will.
