Yes, changing the OS is a major change, I have not changed the OS in weeks. Patching or updating the OS is NOT a change of the OS at all. Point is I did not make ANY change to my OS windows update ran and patched 4 things one of those virus definitions.
The problem with DRM is that it is intended to prevent thieves but that's not who it targets, it strictly targets paying customers. The problem with your example is that they are deadbeats, anyone that is willing to steal this software is not likely to pay for it even if they have no way to get it for free so preventing them from having it has no monetary benefit but costs money to do and in making it a little harder for freeloaders it has been made non-functional for a number of customers.
I have every right to be upset that I can not use something I paid hundreds of dollars for simply because windows update ran.
