Can't someone just lend the whole plugin? I know with altBrowser and
altSQLite and altFont, all you needed was a regcode and you were good to go.

I guess what I'm saying, is you're never going to stop the pirates. They
won't pay no matter what. Most of us in the commercial space know this and
we instead try and focus on stopping casual 'lenders' of software- if at all
possible.

My thinking with regard to copy protection is once you make it too difficult
for your honest users, you've lost-- and they will look to other solutions.
