But I disagree. Sure those that participate on those lists may be
able to defeat any given protection scheme... However most people
aren't programmers and don't troll warez groups so even a modest level
of protection will protect you from all but the most determined.
I agree with this statement 100%. Even though no protection scheme is
crack-proof (look at Windows XP), having no protection scheme is just
asking for people to pirate your stuff.
Protection schemes should be there to keep the honest people honest.
No, this is not enough.
The only thing that prevent people to stole something is to put behind him a
Policeman.
But in this case, you also have to put a Special Policeman behind the standard
Policeman (who knows what can happens ?).
Even in this case, you can reach here and there a robbery.
Sorry, no real solution,
