My guess is that it would be your own desire not to have paid for something and then give
it away. The honor system, as it were.

Besides, any DRM would be cracked within a couple of weeks and a "cracked"
version would be available anyway. Personally, I'm glad FanPro/Wizkids chose the route
they did.
