I believed (mistakenly maybe) that the people with those qualities you list, intensely disliked being "defeated" and rose to the challenge for their own satisfaction. A kind of "freedom of expression", a battle of wits or a "stick it to the man" thing.

Now the Bezos's of the world (and at one time it was the Gate's of the world) say "jump" and we all reply, "how high?"

Now we are all happy just to conform?

Who would have thought it? How the world has changed ...
I can't think of any other digital goods where there are not freely available tools to rip
steal, borrow...
Music, movies , audiobooks , games all have downloadable solutions that Google can find in minutes.
It's strange that the smallest and simplest digital files are the best protected , as at now
