The mention of your discovery has/had no effect whatsoever on the circumvention of protection systems contained in HP because, I am told by those who know and indulge in the scurrilous practice, that the system's already been thwarted, hence the quick and anonymous proliferation of both the UK and US versions.
People who look for dishonest means to obtain digital material...be it e-books, music or software...always find means to do so. Those of us who want the authors and artists to receive remuneration for their efforts will continue to pay. That's the way it's always been...and always will be, despite efforts and rhetoric to the contrary.
