Breaking the CD/DVD drive was never the issue with these copy protection/DRM/Rootkit software packages.

The issue was messing up your Windows installation and installing malicious software/backdoors into your system.
Exactly what I was thinking. I highly doubt they will pay out anything. My understanding was this is the same sort of issue as was seen with Sony fiasco, in that when one tried to remove the software, the CD/DVD drive was disabled or inaccessible due to blocked or disable drivers etc, NOT completely unusable, regardless of software.
