I think the point the original poster was trying to make was it's much easier to berak copy protection schemes when there are macsbug labels like "CHECKPASSWORD", "COPY_PROTECTION_HERE", "BACKOFF_HACKERS" and "THIS_IS_IT".
On especially large projects you can save several K by not including macsbug names. Keep 'em in your beta version, not in the final release.
(You *DO* write betas, don't you? And you *DO* have more than one person (your kid sister doesn't count) test for you?)
