I know what you mean. But it looks like any other obfuscator.
I was just broadening the discussion. The probelem is there will always be a way to crack DRM or whatever encryption system a piece of software uses. You just have to look at windows product activation and apple's DRM on iTunes music. Both have been cracked despite the best efforts of the software engineers. Usually a rights managmet system for software or any media is based on some algorithm that you have to understand before you can create a work around. I dont think its possible to make some system that is uncrackable. You just end up making it harder for the cracker but he will still crack it in the end. Using some complex math might be a better way of stopping a cracker. I wonder what techniques government agencies use to protect their data. You can bet there are some clever mathematicians designing these systems. I would like to see your average hacker work out how to compromise them.
In the end if someone wants something for free and they are criminally minded with the necessary skills they will circumvent most software protection for whatever. If you make it harder they will just work harder and longer to crack it. Its a fact of life.
