With the low price of software is it really even worth it to copy protect your program? Most software is not very expensive and it would be like trying to copy protect a song. People do not want songs to be copy protected.
The majority of software I see on the App store does not have copy protection and I am glad. Any copy protection you provide can be defeated and it just becomes a hassle for the honest people who did purchase it. Look at all of the music sold. Even though some of it is pirated most people will pay for it instead. If you provide serial numbers don’t you have to spend time on every item sold to give them a unique number? The more you sell the more problems and then you need to let users contact you if they lose the number so they can use their software.
