If you're going to do that sort of piracy check, you have to be absolutely certain that it'll never trigger on a genuine copy. Red Alert 2 had a similar idea - about 60 seconds in to a game, all of your units will explode and the game ends - but it will sometimes trigger on legitimate copies of the game (usually due to mods, but I've had it happen on a clean install as well).
