It's to express the point of quit wasting $ on crap and put it into the game. Look at SH4 - with patch 1.4 they effectively took out the copy protection. So ALL the money and time and man-hours spent putting it in was removed. That time, money, and man-hours could have been put to better use making the game better or fixing other bugs.
Maybe you like having that crap infect your computer. I don't. It can sometimes wreak havoc on installed devices and other software on your computer. I don't like troubleshooting software problems because someone 'thinks' I need to have this or that with something I legitimately bought.
I have nothing more to say on this subject. Enjoy your new game when it comes out
