I consider this a valid reason for removing copy protection.

Also:  Buy Xenocide!  Its author is very reasonable about software copying,
and has been releasing a series of "24-hour" programming project games as
freeware.  He is counting on sales of Xenocide to finance production of
these other fine FREE products.  If you want to rip off a nifty game,
please rip off just the freeware, not the commercial product.  Thanks..
