I don't actually do these myself, but if I was a developer I'd do these: 1) start blogging about things in your niche. That way you'll get a number of people in your niche coming to your site every day and seeing a link to your product. 2)

I actually had to deal with something similar at home. Granted it was flowing water, but same principle. Anyways what you do is use an open hose and some hose clamps on the leaking pipe, then you direct the oil hose where you want it to go.

the problem with DRM is that it penalizes the legit users, without actually stopping the pirates. A lot of people started pirating, after their DRM software crapped out on them.
