This is his life work, he needs to be compensated for his time, work and effort. When it is all said and done, Shannon has a right to put whatever limits he wants in regard to anti-piracy. All he is doing is trying to protect his products which he has put all his time, effort into creating them. No other products, which I have tried myself compare to Shannon's. Not to mention, to how he listens to his customers and improves them the way the customer wants, within the limits of the program.
I get that, I do. But it would sit better with me if he just owned that a bit more by saying "That's just the way it is, deal with it or move on". When you get into "legal/moral" arguments, you just force us to find ways around it.
If it's a legal concern: make them as sharable as a blu-ray. If it's your own thing, then it is what it is. But by comparing this to legal copyright laws, I have to point out that you are NOT, in actual fact, on par with them.
