Piracy sucks but so does not having a demo, the 90's brought us so many of those in various ways and the methods they chose.
Also those that always pirate aren't likely to be your customers in the end. I don't condone piracy but I'm not paying full price for the title as is and instead I've put it on my wishlist till it goes a bit lower. Price point is playing a majoor factor for me, it's likely playing an important part for a lot of others as well and this generally happens with thousands if not millions of products when it comes to high prices and deemed value.
If you wish to inject DRM into your future projects then you are only punishing your future and loyal consumers,. You won't get a sale from me with that approach.

Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
