Naughty children ... bad!
Seriously: it seems to me that, to the current generation, circumventing
artificial encumbrances is just part of the use of a purchase. Buy,
crack, use as you like.
IP totalitarianism has succeeded in making the Inflated Privileges
irrelevant.

"New research released by Microsoft today suggests that the UK is a
nation of unrepentant pirates, who know what they are doing is wrong but
just do not care."
I reckon "know what they are doing is wrong" is inaccurate. The law is
regarded as wrong, not the behaviour. There's knowledge of illegality,
but the law's considered a quaint anachronism.
