Techonology to Stop Piracy

http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/biztech/11/26/piracy.technology.ap/index.html

Piracy is a growing issue in our country and around the world. Using copyrighted software without a license is illegal and the software companies want to do something about it. They're trying to come up with ways to see when people are using the software with incorrect information. Then it blocks certain software functions that prohibits the user from using it.

I know better than to use pirated software, but I also know that a students low on cash find it as a way out or "free" software just to get through college. Technology will eventually catch on, and so will law enforcement.
