Piracy lives for a few reasons. First, the pirates or crackers get a kick out
of de-protecting the copy protection used on most software (especially games).
Second, many pirates have the understanding that software are too expensive
and what would be easier than to stay on the phone line for 15 minutes to get
a $40 software? The documentation to the software is usually typed up within a
week of the release..
