When Microsoft put the ability to have their software (Windows, Office, etc.) actually talk to Microsoft Internet servers when running on a connected computer, they discovered that two-thirds of the Microsoft software that was running was pirated. Can you imagine that? Microsoft was losing tens of billions of dollars a year due to piracy. It's easy to understand why they implemented a very robust DRM strategy for their products.
And yet Microsoft is a billion dollar company. Cue sermon about greed. Cue sermon about monopolistic trade practices. Cue sermon about their DRM already having been cracked. Cue sermon about their impending downfall to Linux.
