They will, at best, mildly inconvenienced the pirates.
I've been pirating a long time. Not once have I been inconvenienced by any anti-Piracy measure. There's always another way around.
Having to find a way around is an inconvenience.
lol not really. Not a single piracy measure I've ever come across was anything more than a 3-5 minute Google fix away.
In the nicest possible way, what you're both describing are minor inconveniences.
I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything, for some reason some people just want to ignore the meaning of words. I'm not saying anyone feels super inconvenienced either, like I said they're minor inconveniences, but they're there and they grow.
Frankly I couldn't care less about sticking it to the man, I've been around the scene for 30 odd years at this point and I don't think that's ever been a motivator for me. I do like things that make it more convenient, more reliable and increase selection - I don't like things that make it more difficult, no matter how small.
Even North Korea can’t stop pirating completely.
