I am just being realistic. Your suggestions doesn't make sense at all. It's not like I have been twisting my mind to get around your suggestions - anyone with the least bit of programming knowledge would have said the same.
You want to put crap into the software that renders it useless for some people. I'm not going to install anything that calls mommy everytime I tickle it (ie, someone loads a page).
And I don't want a vBulletin that uses encoded files. One of the reasons I came to vB was because of the ease of adapting it for my purposes.
implementing your suggestions would hurt vBulletin infinitly more than having a problems with pirates (which you would have anyways, it'd just take a day instead of an hour to release it).
Oh, not to mention the pissed off customers like me...
