Some people also view the windows as an invitation to throw the stones in, claiming they are too fragile to be of any protection anyway.
Next time you buy a DRM-ed book from Amazon.com, or watch a film you can not make a copy of, you can contemplate that the protection there is much better than in some Mac app.
Would that make you happier as a user ?
The way to solve this problem is to spend more time on adding more features into the frequently released newer versions of software. Cracking all the same basic reg code would get boring for a few-dollar app.
But does that actually matter? As far as I can see, it’s already easy to pirate any app you want. All you need is Google.
I’m suspicious that super secure DRM really stops people from pirating, especially when considering something non-essential with many (maybe worse but often free or more easily piratable) substitutes. Super secure DRM might be more effective with something really unique you really cannot get any other way like games (but those will be cracked anyway, won’t they?) but some app? I doubt it.
I would actually lean the other way. If your system is far more secure than another identical system, people are less likely to bother targeting your application when they break open the other one much more easily.
It's only when you bring something unique or "better" to the table that you make it worth spending significant amounts of effort on breaking.
