From a programmers standpoint, they probably only had to change one configuration variable in a text file or the database to allow more activations. Ripping out the DRM would be a lot more work that, at this point, probably wouldn't make them any more money.

This means movies theater prices are going to be cheaper and dvd/blu-ray/digital movie sales/rentals are going to have their price's slashed, right? Can't wait!
I think of Gamestop in very much the same way. They bought virtually every free standing game store franchise to have near absolute control of video game sales.
