As a customer, copy protection is viewed as another headache to deal with and having to pay for it.
As a developer, copy protection is a chance to weaken the piracy so people will be forced to buy the game to play it.
Would you not want to stop someone from stealing your stuff? Don't call Larian "bad" for trying to earn a living while we have fun with their product.
EDIT: my personal view is copy protection is a waste. Though I can see why anyone would at least try to protect their product and cannot blame them for earning what they deserve. Calling them "bad" just really pissed me off because they are good people that bust their ass making games like they should be made. The publisher has to promote the product, create the boxes, books, DVD's and earn a living too.
