When I was in the software industry, the general rule was that you had to make it easier for them to do the right thing than it was for them to do the wrong thing.

The software that was the most pirated was the stuff that made the people who bought it legitimately jump through hoops just to use it.

Right up until it's your product that's being pirated...

I wonder what percentage of piracy developers figure into their development cost, or how many more users they figure they really have than they sold copies for?

Let's see... 5 minutes watching boring fbi notices and other advertising crap or $5,000.00 fine and/or 5 years in federal prison... That's a no brainer...
