DRM doesn't stop piracy it might at best slow it down a little, the joke of it is it usually ends up inhibiting legitamate users much more so than copied versions of the game.

Not sure I agree about the whole 'should be allowed to re-sell the game' argument either mainly from the PoV of the developer. I think the only justification for that is if they fundementally release a sh1t game and you want rid.

I guess what you could do is give free activation to the 1st user, then charge a nominal fee (comparable but less than the % profit the devs would get from initial retail) for subsequent activations.
