Yes, and luckily there is a good chance that you find someone who has found a "workaround" :) Which is just there to illustrate how dubious this whole "anti piracy" thing is -- making it more difficult for the ones who are not the problem, while the ones who are always find a way around anyway. And with a very doubtful (if not negative) net result to start with, as Abd ul-Rahman has illustrated so eloquently.
