I dont think these "on the fence" people exist. Who actually knows how a game is protected and installed (CD required after install etc...), until you buy it...or pirate it.

I'm all for keeping the PC gaming genre alive, this will only happen by getting revenue to the developers. I don't like obtrusive protection systems that install drivers and whatever else... they dont work, they just warrant more sophisticated cracks. I dare say the fee for these protection systems is considerable too.
