Having read the (german) news post on heise.de
regarding the issue of prodcut piratry one quote struck me:
According to the article (no source is quoted there!), Peer Laslo of SAP is supposed to have made this statement:
" ...
Wir sind nicht betroffen. Unseres Software ist so kompliziert, dass man sie schlecht fälschen kann.
..."
eng:
"...
We are not affected. Our software is that complicated that it hardly can be imitated.
..."
Now, I do not have any context information for this statement. Put like this, it sounds really weird. And wrong too: A software can simply be pirated by copy and paste, or reverse engineering.
So the only thing protecting this particular product is the complexity to enhance/change and lastly to use it. Looks like not only security but whole businesses can be built with obscurity in mind....
