I would like to distribute a piece of software but want to provide some protection that is does not get copied and pirated. Looking for some tips on ways to do this.
There are two ways to make sure its never pirated...
- Don't write it in the first place.
- Make the software so bad that no one wants it ... and even that's not a sure bet.
Any other method is costly and doomed to fail.
Yes. I recognize that a "professional" cracker will eventually be able to get at a piece of software given enough time, effort and resource. I'm also guessing that such professional would only spend such time on a widely popular or very valuable piece of software. My piece would be neither of those. However I am interested in stopping the casual and possibly accidental sharing of the software. Surely there is a balance here.. Some simple things which can be done which hinders the casual copying by non-professionals?
