Personally, I am firmly convinced that the best way to protect themselves against con artists is not data protection. have Original models still more and better quality every day without ever ceasing Inova can still be a major advance on all those who would rob us. In computing, the protections do not exist. At most, this slows down piracy. But by no means complete protection is possible. Example, I currently have 192 models in my shed (164 are already on GIT). And for each of them I leave available to anyone who wants the files Blender. If tomorrow, someone would steal one or more models, it does not matter I would do more. :) Regards.
