I always pay / donate for software that is worth, but I can't imagine to pay for music that otherwise I'd never listen to.
While surfing at Youtube etc, If then I discover a good artist that I like, I don't mind donating to it / going to live concerts etc. But I am not going to pay for a CD, they just rip the artists and the clients.

Depending on where you are from, you might already be paying for music you don't listen to. Some countries have a private copying levy on recordable mediums (cds, dvds, pens, hard drives, etc) which goes to copyright bodies:

I'll just leave this here
This is how we should battle pirating, it's a million times harder to crack it + way cooler

When the game detects you're running an illegal copy, it spawns an immortal scorpion which follows you and kills you troughout the game

I don't believe that's much harder to crack (once you know it's there), and though amusing, it's a stupid way of dealing with the issue. You already have millions of people copying software, and if you think that's a problem, you should look into why they are doing it, and address their concerns, not try to keep the status quo at any cost.
