Jeroen, As I said in the post to Ed, I'm on your side here and I don't intend to hack / copy any of your books / software. >The answer is simple: I don't want my book to be hacked. It is illegal and IMO >morally not acceptable. All things that come after the hacking are not >intesting. I'm not sure that hacking the software as I outlined is illegal. From what I remember reverse-engineering is legal in USA and illegal in the UK (or maybe the other way round!?). What about the ChessBase CBH format? This has never been published but Chess Assistant can read / write it - I assume that ChessBase cannot stop them. >BTW, the lesson I learned here is clear. My next books will be protected like >Fort Knox :-) Yes I think a stong encryption method is by far the best way to go - much better than the legal path IMO. Regards, Steve
