I'm confused. You're against minimal DRM implementation aimed at adding a first level of security to protect assets from opportunistic and casual pirates.

But are suggesting the implementation of one of the harshest DRM systems I have ever heard proposed.

I truly don't believe it's black and white with DRM as in it works or it doesn't. There are many levels of effectiveness and varying amounts of impact on customers.

I firmly believe providing a plug and play zip file as a product package is akin to laying down a pirate party welcome mat with free jugs of rum for all.
