With the €5 they ask for it, I'm surprised if it covered more than the production cost of the disc.
Yes, it does cover more. However, I don't think that they produce those disks anymore.

* Cracks and Keygens will be produced (they're all over the internet anyway)
This is a flawed argument. It's like giving a thief your money, because other thieves have already stolen a part of your money. It doesn't really make sense.
