Yes but Logic's copy protection is pretty hassle free, not something 
I'd say about other vendors.

I've even heard people argue that Microsoft came to prominence partly 
due to the proliferation of unprotected copies of Word. The argument 
goes that most of the world learnt word processing on unprotected 
copies of Word, then got jobs with companies with legal versions. Thus 
word processing became almost synonymous with Microsoft word. I know 
this is over-simplifying.

The music world seems to have many more protection issues than the 
world at large. If the vendors simply trusted in customer honesty,  the 
money they saved on litigation and copy protection schemes might exceed 
what they lost through increased piracy.
