This remind me of that speech Lt. Gordon gave at the end of Batman. The cops get semi-auto, the villains get full auto. Cops get kevlar, villains get armor piercing rounds. This isn't going to stop pirates. Maybe it'll discourage some of the less dedicated pirates who won't be able to follow whatever method comes up to get around, but there is no way this'll stop piracy. Plus, it'll discourage honest buyers from legally buying. Nobody wants that hassle. EA strikes again.
