Ok, to be clear, the uploading of the hard drive content is a joke. I would not suggest you actually do it for legal and ethical reasons. As for DRM, I think Total Commander is a good example of good software protection in action. When I was a kid and could not afford to buy it, I tried to crack it a few times, with no luck. Nowadays, I own a copy, but just for fun I tried to crack it a few times, for educational purposes :), and still could not. If you are interested, take a look at it, I think TC has a very non intrusive DRM that works well but is not draconian. Of course, you can still grab a stollen key for it from any torrent site, but to my knowledge at least no one has cracked it yet.
