spur the crackers on.. bad idea, cos u gotta realise the crackers simply do not give 2 ****s about the end user or the person making their backup, the crackers make the crack for their cracked/warez'd release.. thats where the buck stops, the crackers do not support their files being ripped out and distributed on sites such as gcw, or ppl ripping off their work and claiming it as their own, or distributing the cracks ripped out of the main release on p2p networks..

as for generic templates, i'd suggest you go research starforce then you might realise that a generic template is out of the question considering each game is different

as for your gangland or trackmania cd sitting on your desktop waiting to your child to wreck it or spill tea on it or whatever, that simply is your own problem, if you're stupid enough to leave your cd's sitting out in such an environment then you're simply asking for trouble
