Exactly. It is a painful realization I got from a previous thread on this subject: First, decide whether you're in the business of trying to improve other peoples' morals or of trying to maximize profits. In case of the latter, forget about the pirates. The only thing I'm worried about is the amount of effort I need to do to "keep the honest people honest". I haven't quite figured that out yet, because it's easy to
bother the honest people with your DRM scheme, which I want to avoid.
