Of course this happened even if you owned the game and installed it legally.
Personally any developer/publisher that does DRM I will consider an idiot and if met in person I would say so.
DRM tends to screw over the non-pirates more then the pirates, and I see infesting your software with it as a symptom of greed and corruption as well as being afraid of pirates.
Make a deep meaningful game and you'll make a profit, ignore the pirates because no matter what you do they are gonna pirate your game. Even if you require a blood test match every 15 minutes or the game auto-exits and calls the police on you it will be cracked within hours of release.
Oh yeah, Toady One, the developer of Dwarf Fortress found a way to make your game never get pirated. Make it a free game.
(Yet he still made 54 Thousand dollars last year from it)
