Subject: Re: Application security
Date: Tue, 07 Oct 2008 19:03:47 +0200Hi,
There will always be cracks, more matter how advanced system you create, so there is no point in waisting time on making it harder. After all, a very tiny percent of the population would managed to crack a program. If people want to use a cracked program then so be it. They wouldn't have bought my program anyway...
