I dont know what to say. About 3 days ago I released a script to the public. Today I realised, after searching on google that someone had already nulled (removed my protection) and pirated the script.
How do I stop users from pirating the script? It is written in PHP.
Please help or suggest some solutions.
Thank you for your time.
UPDATE By releasing to the public means that I have started selling it to users.
UPDATE My program is priced at only $49. Very reasonable for the functionality it offers. I do not understand how I should stop pirates from pirating my code. The replies which most people have given are rather sarcastic. I was hoping for some good advice. I know there is no silver-bullet. But some techniques which you have used in your PHP programs.

One of the most-effective ways of dealing with piracy is by removing the incentive for the consumers to look for pirated content. Effectively this can be characterised by offering a good product and a good user experience at a fair price.
Memory inspectors, debuggers and emulators can help a pirate find and copy the key while it is in memory. Memory peeking can be attacked in several ways: Having a privileged service that detects memory accesses in the specified region, and redirect the addressing somewhere else.
Definition of anti-piracy : opposing or acting to prevent piracy anti-piracy laws The record industry rejected the report immediately. "
Piracy is the illegal copying and selling of DVDs and CDs. Money generated by piracy is used by criminal gangs to fund the sale of drugs and guns. If you buy an illegal copy, the quality of the recording may be poor.
The only real way to prevent piracy is to not give the user the program at all! What I mean by this is have the logic you want to protect remain server side and offer a client interface.
There are a few companies that offer protection services, but these are expensive and can sometimes still be overcome.
If you're worried about this happening again, try obfuscating your code. Here is a free program to do just that on PHP code.
