I remember back in the BBS days, the piracy issue evolved into people selling diskettes with activation codes printed on them. You'd get the diskette, call the phone number, punch in your code, and they'd spit out another code for you to punch into the dialog box.

Of course programs came along like f'n cracker and such where you could peek at the data and at first it'd auto-crack all kinds of those things. But to this day, that is a deterant that works to some degree. Not perfect.

I think efforts to deter piracy are fine and a normal part of things. Some people will never buy, and some always will. Most will do what's easy, but not what takes slight effort.
