A former employer of mine had a problem with a copy protected database during an earlier era of copy protection some years ago. This was at a time then copy protection was very common, as were the tools to defeat it. The computer with the database suffered a hard drive crash, and the copy protection "key" was lost.
He (following the directions in the manual) phoned up the company (one of the largest ones in the PC database business) and asked about getting a new software key mailed to him. The person who answered the phone at the software company didn't really want to do anything about the problem. His answer was something to the effect of "Why are you calling me? Why don't you just crack it like everyone else and stop wasting my time?" My former employer found this advice rather difficult to argue with.
