  26. : 1.  The dongle *does* stop piracy.

  28. Look, I don't want to get into a religious war here, but there are only
  29. two things that really stop software piracy:
  30.  
  31.                  1.  Lack of technical skill
  32.                  2.  A conscience

  34. There is *no* 100% effective software protection scheme.  It is purely
  35. chimera put forth by those who are in the business of selling that protection
  36. in the first place.
