It is still a work in progress, but I'm skeptical of how good it will look -- but protection is more important, and it won't look too bad. Better than doing nothing, at least.
And for the surface content of links:
One can synthesize, from an interesting discussion of hardware locks, some interesting thoughts on the RIAA. John Walker (founder of AutoDesk) records talking points on the introduction of the hardware dongle in AutoCAD 2.5, and then retraction. And then it came back. Gotten to from this contemporary cracker discussion. Which was found in a timeslice off BlogChatter.
