Maybe you dont completely block the software in firewall so it phones home. Or you send someone a cad file which has metadata inside, they open it in legitimate software version and then it phones home your info. Or you connect pirated version to a network where is also another legitimate version which phones home.
Yes, you could say "just use simplewall and deny by default" or "run it in VM" or "dont send anyone cad filed created in pirated version". But that's not the point. The point of my question is, IF you make mistake and the software has a chance to phone home, how much danger there is?
Of course there is always some danger. That's why I am just asking about comparing Autodesk and Dassault and if it's possible to determinate that one is more eager to catch pirates than the other.
Thanks.
