The very idea that such a software would be created as a piracy enabler is absurd. Who would pay for that development? You could probably buy a couple of hundred licenses for the money that so many hours of development work would bring in, if it was a purely commercial endeavour.

Oh, I don't know, the apparent ease that coders have to create things like bnetd and cracking the xbox suggests that this is what companies are already doing :-).
