It is already easy for them. They have already obsoleted Bool's unwrapper without his code. So, he should share his code and knowledge with other like-minded users. Many heads are certainly better than one.
The user community will always be playing catch-up because the copy-protection developers do not sit on their products. The developers certainly realize that any protection can be broken especially when the key for the protection is distributed with it. The only chance users really have to counter this continual change to the protection is through collaboration, and that requires sharing of knowledge and resources. As talented as individuals like Bool are, there are dozens of developers who are just as talented working full-time with tremendous resources behind them to create and revise these protections. A "lone wolf" mentality will not be successful in this situation, and we are seeing the results of that right now.
