It's most likely dropping as fewer members are appearing online. But the first week when vBT converted to vB3 there was always heaps of people online (Hit more then 1 line on the Who's online on alot of occasions)
Because less members have been on, probally shows that there was alot of pirates. Personally, Im just glad that vBT is making it harder for them... I suggessted to vB that they should need their customer number to open up the install file. Now THAT would stop alot of piracy when you consider it... ALOT.
While it would, in the same scenario it would not. It is quite easy to share the DB structure for a default install of vBulletin, hence not providing much more protection than offered right now.
I think they offer as much protection as possibly, certainly more than other bulletin board companies.

Not really, That would only deter them for a brief second. They will find a way to do it.
