So keep on doing nothing about it and lets meet back in 4 years and see where you stand.

I know several guys who have done exactly that to protect their content and guess what, their sales have gone UP because you can hardly find their content ANYWHERE for free. They put in the work and it's paid off, while most of you say it will never work and guys will crack it, blah, blah, and do nothing at all. I've seen it with my own eyes, it's working.

Sure, someone will make something to crack what they have done. Then they have to fix that and so on and so forth. That is evolution. Some of the software companies are doing it now and it's becoming harder and harder to steal their shit. Good for them, it's working. Then someone will figure it out and they will fix that in the next release. That's just the nature of the beast.

Or, you do nothing and you'll be out of business sooner or later, while those who do protect their content will still be around. It's not about pointing fingers or saying this person is stupid, it's about you deciding how long you're going to be in this business. If it's for the long run, you had better find a way to somewhat protect your content. Even if it's not perfect, it's a start that WILL evolve into something else and sooner or later you will regain control of your content.
