To be honest if I was a successful developer I'd leak poisoned copies onto the net. I would most likely not go and hard reset people's devices, but I'd have no qualms about leaking non-working versions.

There are other approaches already that will try to ensure that P2P users trying to download copyright material get garbage. I'm sure that this one would work too :) Make a bad copy of the software and spread it over P2P networks.

Anyway, not an accusation and I'm glad you didn't take it that way.
