IonCube FTW!
This encrypting has it's benefits and it has it's downfalls like every other software available. However it is entirely up to the software developer to use the tools in an appropriate fashion. Every comment has been so biased it's not even funny. Consider that IonCube has potentially saved developers millions, yes I said millions, in revenue. The
soul developer of a particular project utilizing IonCube is to blame for any grievances between the customers/users using it (the project).
