One of the pieces of hardware controlled is exactly that (albeit only six figure). The only thing that single usb dongle does is make me nervous about our backup strategy. I can't imagine that they prevent much piracy at all, to honest. Commercial reverse engineering and espionage in East Asia maybe, but even then I'm not so sure it's a real problem as the other commercial suppliers of $MACHINE don't really do it. It's hard to take it as anything other than a giant "f-you" to the end users.
