I like the idea of spamming the pirate channels with vesions that look like the full game...so it's like getting casual pirates to check out the demo, get hooked and find out they'd like the full legit version and that it's worth the money.
Really? I rather doubt it. You don't get customers by irritating people (legitimate copies or not) which this would - and spamming file-sharing networks with fake copies is (again) RIAA-level tactics, and look how much good that's done them.

The key to getting "conversions" is to focus on rewarding legitimate purchasers, not by trying to punish downloaders. Any anti-piracy implementation will just mean everyone here has to wait longer for bugfixes/GUI improvements and that certainly qualifies as punishment in my view.
