Apple computers uses neither copyright protection nor online assurances that copies of iLife and iWork (their two primary software bundles) are not being installed on multiple computers. And yet iWork has recently passed Corel into the #2 spot for retail sales of word processors in the US.
People are going to steal music, they are going to steal programs, they are going to steal money. I personally would be inclined to buy far more music and programs than I do (I get by just fine without any CD put out by SONY) if the company did not treat me like a thief for purchasing their product.

"Life is sacred and you are not its steward. You have stewardship over it but you don't own it. You're making a choice to go through this, it's not just happening to you. You're inviting it, and in some ways delighting in it. It's not accidental or coincidental. You're choosing it. You have to realize you've made choices."
