It's a hundred times easier to smash a lock than to build a lock. The Warez kiddies will crack whatever copy protection made, and spread the cracked version of it around. It was probably cracked the day went gold, and on every Warez site the day after. I don't think Warez is as big a concern as these are people that wouldn't have bought it anyways. The only real concern are people that legally buy a product and then burn a copy for all their friends the low tech way. I know a CD can be made so that it cannot be copied correctly. My dad went to burn me a copy of a game, and the copy didn't work, so I went out and bought it. Something like that is perfect because it stops us non hackers and forces us to buy it if we want it.
