I've seen a potential solution that I really like. Consulair, makers of Mac
C, send out their product copy protected. If you want an unprotected
version, you send them $25 and an additional licensing agreement that
basically affirms you won't copy it illegally (and you sign it, so they
have something legal to beat you up with if you do...). This allows the
users that don't care about copy protection to have the software, but also
allows those of us who need free access to the software a way of getting it
while STILL protecting the manufacturers from abuse. 

Consulair, by the way, seems to have a good quality product and is trying
to make it available in a way fair to everyone. I recommend it highly!
