I, as a potential buyer, download widgets only if they are freeware.
I am not cheap :-) - spend $100s a year on various programs. Only
about one out of ten has a "copy protection". In widgets, I think it
is more the fame than the money which drives developers. I might
contribute-donate, if the widget did something important for me.

The real question is this - is there a way to copy protect a widget?
Assuming that your widget is designed to use internet resources
anyway there's very little drawback to having it poll a page on a
webserver which you control to check registration status. The major
caveat is that this server then becomes the single point of failure
for your widget so it'd probably be best to check only the first
time a widget is run.
