I'm a programmer. I write software for a living. Everything I produce can be copied with absolutely no technical "flags" protecting the work I produce.
So don't tell me you can't make money creating things that don't have technical protections. Millions of people do it every day. The vast majority of the public is honest and will pay for the products they use.
A few people will shoplift, a few people will steal phone service, and a few people will pirate all their software. You can't stop it. You just accept it as a cost of doing business and go on with your life. If someone is being particularly egregious such as selling your product in an unauthorized way, then you file a DMCA and/or sue them.
