Story: 'Taster' pirated copies lure gaming fans

You're missing the point. CD/DVD copy protection will never stop EVERYONE, the aim is to make it as difficult and time consuming to copy as is possible. Sure you may be able to just make a bunch of copies, but that requires you spending time burning each cd, remembering which one you used last, possibly having to re-install the game each time it fades, etc. Most people who have more productive lives would rather just spend the money...
However, I do agree that there are alot of crappy games out there today, this way you can still "try" the game, see it sucks, and let it "FADE" away. Too bad that doesn't include fading off you're hard drive.
