I don't like paying for these darn things.  If a company is concerned
that 50% of their users have pirate copies and use this as a justification
for requiring us to put these on our machines, then I'd expect the total
price of the package to drop as a result of the increased sales stemming
from persons who would have pirated the software now buying it instead.
Needless to say, this price drop doesn't usually occur.

As a general policy, I won't buy intrinsically copy protected (disk-based)
or dongle-protected software.

One man's opinion, nothing more.
