Demonic Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Recently I had a product going around for a while it was pretty big on the DigitalPoint community, next thing you know, my stuff gets leaked on warez forums some how. Only gave the people the script to the ones who paid for it. Was pretty gay. What do I do to protect my scripts from getting leaked. What would you do?

Daniel0 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 By only giving it to people you truly trust? Nothing you can do really. Large companies such as Microsoft and Adobe cannot protect themselves from piracy and the entire movie and music industry can't either, so how do you hope as a single person to do that?

.josh Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 And that's why the product industry is going downhill and being replaced by the service industry.

tibberous Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 You realize the DP is like the ghetto of the internet right? Here's the thing - there are two kind's of people, the kind that buy scripts and the kind that steal them. Even if you can 100% protect your script, no one from the second group is going convert to the first. My advice is to basically ignore it - I'll pay to use scripts, especially if my boss is the one dropping the cash, but I won't buy anything that is encoded or compressed. And CV is right, web services are the way to go if you 100% don't want something stolen. Tie it to your server and hide the useful parts (think google maps) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/117869-protecting-my-scripts/#findComment-607196 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of most opensource frameworks. Don't we use them? WE DO! And the difference is that we acknowledge.
