Note that initially I thought that the copy protection of fruit is a good idea
but I changed my mind about it after reading responses of people.

It is possible that even piracy without that copy protection may be productive
for Fabien.

Explanation:

option 1:copy protection similiar to shredder
A buy the program and share the program with B,C,D,E when everybody payed only
1/5 of the price.

Fabien earns 35$
A,B,C,D,E pay 7$

option 2:copy protection based on hardwate

A does not buy fruit because it is too expensive and same for B,C,D,E
Fabien earns nothing.
