Oh okay then. I'll vote for it never to be taken seriously. I mean, wasn't
there a "crack" for the Windows XP product activation available
before the product was even shipping? I expect a similar scenario: this
will only work for "common" people. Those who want to crack the
protection will be able to do so.

I mean, pretty much every protection scheme can be broken, so why should
this one be any different?
