"Let the pirates wonder why the IRS is hitting them for an audit, back taxes, and penalties..."

Any software has all kinds of glitches and errors. You think it is a good idea to have the software give incorrect info when it is operating functionally. What happens when the software causes hundreds(?) thousands(?) of audits for people who didn't pirate the software, but the anti-piracy safeguards mistakenly indicates the user has a pirated copy?

How long do you think they would stay in business after lawsuits?

Anti-piracy software is bad enough when it prevents legitimate use. adding in deliberate sabotage may be the future but it is not wise and it will not lead to success.

I believe that your concern also comes under the heading of my post #63, torture under colour of authority.

The Poohbs is an enthusiastic supporter of such practices. ;-)
