This. No DRM/copy protection scheme has ever deterred commercial piracy for long. It was, is, and always will be intended a deterrent to "casual" piracy. And yet, Valve, Apple, and especially GOG.com have decades of proof that casual piracy is a service problem. The more strict the provider is, the more it's customers will resort to casual piracy to obtain a superior service or product.
