The danger of applying DRM to any software is that the pirated copy can turn into a more desirable product than the retail version. That is, those who download a copy illegally are actually better off than legitimate customers who chose to spend their hard earned cash to purchase it through the usual channels. The paradox above has gone unnoticed by many copyright holders who don’t appear to realize that in many instances DRM does them and their customers more harm than good.
