In my case, Keygen is a very critical part of a business -- much like billing -- so making sure it's reliable, secure, and well-maintained is paramount. This fact, in and of itself, weeds out most individuals (and businesses) who want to fork and steal, because then maintenance is pushed onto them or onto an untrusted third-party, which has a non-trivial cost for any worthwhile business. Much less risky to just pay the vendor of the software instead of treading through the risky route to save a few bucks.
