Don't get me wrong, I do HATE Dongles. I just hate Matchlock more...

Some people will always pirate software. I'm sure there are ways around
Matchlock.
It's a pretty vertical software product. I doubt many users would pirate it.
But the big thing is to have protection (like a serial number) that offers
some level of protection but doesn't make a huge hassle for the user (which
Matchlock does).
At least with a Dongle, I can take it with me and I know I can run the
software from virtually anywhere.
