i think their biggest problem is i think they are looking in the wrong direction.
it seams that you need to stop all this log in, check in, monitoring BS and simply have a disk drive format that is unreadable or encrypted and cant be opened or looked at by any burners so even if someone wants to copy it they cant.
if they made burners able to read a certain formatted disk but as an industry wide standard all burners cant open/explore or rewrite anything in that format then thats the ticket.
it seams the most logical aproach and all pirated disks (not just games) would be able to use the protected format.
might take a little coopperation but its in the best intrest of all software makers so they have the infuence to do it.
yes someone will be able to crack the opening part of the protection but it would only have limited use since they cant burn it to a disk so piracy is limited to first having the actual game disk in your hand and isnt that the key? if you had to buy the disk to try to pirate then why would you still need to pirate it?
