Actually, come to think of it, if there was a form of copy protection that was never a hassle for paying customers but which effectively prevented piracy, I might enthusiastically support it.

So theft is OK if the alternative is "a hassle". OK, I find this whole working thing to get money is kind of a hassle, when all the money I need is just down at the bank. Good to know that stealing it is now justifiable.

And the next time that I get stuck in a long line at the grocery store, I'm just going to roll the cart around the check out and on out to my car. How glorious that by being making buying their product a hassle, the owner has given me a justifiable reason to just take it.
