You caught me; I was too lazy to register to read the article, and was
just recalling what happened to the last copy protection that worked
that way - FADE. 

FADE apparently caused a good portion of FUD among users, but IIRC the
cracker community adapted to it pretty fast.

Yeah, but it is not only the consumers who are to blame. It was the
retailers who conditioned them to take price as the top aspect.

Here in Germany large electronics chains use slogans like "being cheap
