If they wanted to make no money, they could as well just have not spend money on copy protection. (or developing the product in the first place)

What is worse, they are giving people even a "legitimately feeling" reason to search for methods to break their protection. Every cracker has now a perfectly good excuse: "No, I didn't intend my crack to be used by anyone not owning the software! I jut did it to help those poor honest customers with issues with the copy protection!"

Oh, I agree. They should completely make a copy protection scheme that actually doesn't hurt those that actually purchased the game.
