will they never learn?

I find it amazing that huge corporations are unable to see that attempts to copy protect things always fail. Here’s another one gone wrong. Undoubtedly, millions were spent on getting this protection in place, and it’s picked apart by one guy in a mere 8 days.

There are so many examples of this. I guess it can’t be that “they” don’t know their schemes will be broken. Perhaps they assume that, but also know that just a small percentage of customers will avail themselves of the means to use the crack. If so, it’s certainly better to use some form of protection, but why not face facts and put less effort into making it obscure. After all, what’s the difference between an elaborate scheme that’s cracked in 8 days and a trivial one that’s cracked in an hour?
