Three advantages of copy protection:

1) For the user applying a crack, he undoubtly knows he is doing 
something illegal.

2) For the paying user, it supports the feeling the company is doing 
something against hackers.

3) If the software becomes indeed popular (and cracked), you already 
have a lot of paying customers, so your investment is returned.

This doesn't require some super special mechanism. Implementing a 
simple protection is a matter of a few minutes. Use it in a lot of 
locations, so the cracker has a lot of work.


Cheers,
Markus
