I generaly don't post in threads, and prefer just to read.

The only way to semi-prevent piracy is to encode the files and add the callback feature. That would only slow the *crackers* (crackers is the correct term for what you have been calling hackers. Hackers, at least the real ones, don't break into computers. They just play with your own and create, not destroy) down a day or two at the most.

Alot of the people that crack software are brilliant minds, but have decided to destroy rather then create. I bet if they all decided to make their own software and release it for free, the market would be much more competitive.

But they won't. Piracy is a problem will take a long while to stop.

Even new technology, like policeware, won't stop it, and if (policeware) it passes, alot of innocent people not involved with warez will also be hurt.

Piracy is definately a problem, but I don't see it being wiped out anytime soon.

There really is no way to pirate proof vB.
