Seriously, you're advocating DRM?

DRM is the worst piece of software technology ever created.  It as
done NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING to stop Piracy.  It has, however,
been the #1 most infuriating cause of Legitimate User frustration
since its inception.  Basically, copy-protection software is a JOKE
and both waste of time and money for both the company that uses it in
its products.  Time and money they could be using to "improve" their
products rather than making them difficult for legitimate users to
actually use.

DRM should be banned.

Also, its been a proven fact that Piracy does help increase sales.
