No copy protection scheme is foolproof. Whatever you build, someone will
crack it. Therefore, don't waste a huge effort on copy protection -- keep
it simple. PalmGear, Handango, and others can handle billing for you so all
you really have to do is make something to generate a registration code and
email it to people after they pay. If registered users get extra
functionality, and the cost of registering is not outrageous, then most
honest people who are interested in your program will pay for it.
