I thought Apple (and virtually everyone else) discouraged copy protection
schemes because they don't deter the determined (just slow them down a bit),
and cause hassles to legitimate users (the vast majority).

There are many individuals who advocate NOT buying copy protected software.
While many magazines don't take a stand on this, A2Central has explicity
discouraged buying copy protected software.  

Maybe you're patting yourself on the back prematurely, suggesting that people
may WANT to  copy your Xenocide.
