I've seen this quite a lot in older games. Open manual to page X, Yth word in paragraph Z? Page Q, the number matching this number is? These are easily defeated by a piece of technology known as the Xerox machine (eh, these days, the scanner). It's just not effective, and the publishers know it.

Not that anything is really effective at stopping a determined pirate. These schemes may slow them down, but they'll get around them. All it does is annoy people who try to legally play the game.
