"while the pirates just laugh their asses off and carry on as usual"

Just as a side note there is no indication that Daz Encryption has been broken by the 'pirates' at this point. So I am not really sure what they would be laughing at? The 'Pirates' have had close to twelve months now, and in fact the few products that have been re-uploaded from any encrypted base product have been rather clumsy attempts that first install the encrypted product and then export it back out to redistribute, which leaves the dodgy shared product full of bugs and the somewhat under skilled pirate captains providing cumbersome export process services and a follow on update support for the cracked files to even get them halfway functioning for their fellow scallywags. The main issues that the Daz Connect encryption system has faced by far, has been to do with customer trust and acceptance of any protection measure that goes beyond putting a simple zip file put on a plate, for any to do with as they please. In reality putting a lock on your front door means there is always a possibility you could be locked out. The only way to never be possibly locked out is to have no locks.

With that said every customer has a right to decide for themselves, where the line is and what is considered as acceptable in terms of software protection or digital rights management. Most customers inevitably will choose to vote with their wallets when confronted with any change they don't like.
