I suppose.

DRM has never stopped anyone from pirating anything, not for long anyways. If the post-install script only pointed to some remote authentication procedure, then modifying it wouldn't help the user much. Especially if the remote procedure is encrypted some how.

Anyways, we could go back and forth all day, someone undoubtedly responding with "encryption algorithm would get spoofed" or the like. My original point was that there are ways of providing some degree of protection for proprietary developers.

I wonder how Penumbra and friends are solving this "dilemma"
