Your technique was good in the past, Michael, but now with these leechers, it's not that useful,...

that's why i do not apply any verification process on my site. there is not that much interesting stuff on my site yet, so i'm not leeched to death, but i can tell that even if i had a verification process, my stuff would be leeched away because one nuller would visit vb.org for the code, or a hacker would nullify it, etc...

anyway, if someone leech my code freely, that just mean they would not pay for it anyway, so i prefer having them visiting my site for support, it help me learn how to support better and it also show me how much my stuff is really interesting or not. i also visit vbteam because i want to see if my stuff leeched there is grabbing any interest... (but as my name is related to vbteam, you can say that google make a good job here, my stuff have a better view on google than vbteam itself...)
