But if they require you to sign up to recieve your updates and ask for your product info then they can be sure you purchased it by checking the product code is valid, in order for this to work they need to number thier evaluation products and give them out by credit card so they have your identification you wont pay for it but they have your information so if that evaluation ends up cracked they can trace it back to the person they originally gave it to, they can also do with installers by having a secret code embedded so that if the product ends up online where it is not supposed to  be they can check the code and figure out who it was origianlly sold to and hold them responsible for allowing it to get onto the internet.

 

there are lots of ways to prevent that but it also costs money to pay people to check it.

But it wont matter CISPA does alot of things to put an end to it, the us government loses millions of tax dollars per year to piracy and you wonder why we have this recession, imagine if they got that money snd how much better off the market would be right now.
