Copy protection after downloading from torrent site

[jacob84]

I wonder what exactly this copy protection did to me. According to your former statement it affects all of your programs now which makes them all useless to me. Would have been smarter if it would only affect the pirated program.

Anyway, I'm not willing to spend a few hundred bucks for an outdated version I barely used just to get that copy protection removed. Looks pretty dodgy to me.
