Some copy protection ideas...

Brook suggests: Download a missing section of code (like for file saving) from the web and stamp it into your executable when they register. At least that way, the hacker has to register once to get the code.

We also pondered: Have the username and registration key hash into executable code that is required for the feature to work.

Hit the web, intermittently, to make sure the key is not stolen.

Always reboot after registration: This makes it harder for the hacker to debug the app.

VM's are tougher to hack. Long live VB. :)
